 * 1) The electroporations of 26/08 were checked.
 * 2) * had some colonies. they were ented in liquid culture.
 * 3) *LigC ( + ) did not grow. we figured that an insert of 35bp was too short to ligate so we decided to use as insert and  +  as vector . The following restriction digest was started:
 * 4) ** was cut with SpeI and PstI
 * 5) ** was cut with XbaI and PstI
 * 6) The miniprep that was made to sequence the LigA construct on 26/08 was used again to perform a restriction digest (EcoRI and PstI). This was put on gel to check whether there actually was LigA-insert in the vector and whether the insert had the right length. The gel showed a signal at 1000 bp and at 2000 bp which coincides with the insert (BLp + GFP) and the vector.
 * 7) A new setup to light the E.coli was engineered.
 * 8) * Fresh cultures were made from the old ones (LB plate ligA 14/08 and the two liquid cultures from 26/08 were used as templates.)
 * 9) * They were put in the 16°C room for about an hour
 * 10) * A blue light (40W) was put on them for about an hour
 * 11) * They were put in the 37°C incubator overnight
