Metal Sensing Team
Introduction
Yesterday's lab session saw the Metal Sensing team innoculate 6 tubes of 5ml LB (plus ampicillin) with six cultures of DH5-alpha transformed with BBa_J33206 in plasmid pSB1A2 in the morning. By the time afternoon had arrived, the bacteria had grown to sufficient numbers; three of these cultures were then used to further inoculate 3 flasks of 50ml LB+amp. The three flasks of 50ml LB+amp + transformant E. coli cells were then placed in the orbital incubator and will take part in today's midi-prep. Meanwhile the six tubes were used in a mini-prep attempt but alas, the procedure went wrong and had to be abandoned.
Today's lab session will focus on creating midi-prepped plasmids from the inoculated 50ml LB+amp flasks as well as carry out restriction enzyme digest analysis on a sample. The samples will then be run on agarose gel by DNA gel electrophoresis.
Procedure
Midi-prep of transformant E. coli cells
