Transformation Results

  • RFP control: 100+ colonies
  • Ligation control: 200 colonies, 14 were blue
  • Mnt-pGEM: 1 colony out of 30 was white. Placed into LB/Amp 4mL liquid culture
  • CI-pGEM: 8 colonies, all blue. Placed back in incubator
  • AraC-pGEM: 5 colonies, all blue. Placed back in incubator

Retransformed CI and AraC + pGEM into XL1Blues on Amp+ LB plates w/ xGAL and IPTG for blue white selection

Re-ligation of AraC and CI into pGEM

This time, we are increasing the amount of insert DNA

50ul total volume

  • 15ul ligase buffer 2x
  • 2ul T4 ligase
  • 1ul pGEM
  • 12ul insert (CI or AraC)
