Lab Work - 10/09/09
Metal Sensing Team
Introduction
Yesterday saw the Metal Sensing team attempt to transform DH5-alpha E.coli bacterial cells with two BioBricks (the cotC-GFP-smtA BioBrick and the kinA BioBrick) and plate them out on LB + kanamycin plates. The cotC-GFP-smtA BioBrick is part of the Metal Sensing team's sub-project and the kinA BioBrick will be used by the Stochastic Switch team's sub-project.
Today's exercise should see the Metal Sensing team inoculate LB medium with any transformant cultures which grow on these plates - if there are no cultures present then the transformations will be attempted a second time.
Observations
On all four plates there could be seen hundreds of transformant colonies - this was to be expected as the DNA used to transform the DH5-alpha cells was in pure form.
