Made 500 mL of LB agar + amp and 500 mL of Liquid LB

Nathan Puhl, Alix, Sebastian, Munima, Roxanne, Christa

Trasformed BBa_J24679( RBS + LacI), BBa_P0440 (RBS+TetR+T10+T12), leftover DNA from Double T (June 26, 2008), and 1 uL of pSB1A7 plasmid (June 18).

Protocol changes:

  -3 uL of DNA
  -spin down 200 uL of cells and resuspend in 100 uL of LB; plate on LB + amp

Checked transformation plates. Only the positive control (pSB1A7) had colonies (~1500) indicating that there is nothing wrong with the transformation protocol or cells so we must be having problems with the DNA extraction from the filter paper. Next week we will attempt various changes to the protocol to extract more DNA.
