    Transformation


      Always keep competent bacteria on ice before the heat shock in order to maintain competence.
    • Add 1 µL of DNA (can be adjust with the DNA concentration, for example transform the entire ligation product) to 200 µl of competent cells. Mix carefully by moving the tip around.
    • Incubate cells on ice for 30 min.
    • Heat-shock cells for 2 min in a 42°C water bath.
    • Incubate cells on ice for 5 min.
    • Add 0.8 ml of room temperature LB.
    • Incubate 1h at 37°C.
    • Spread 100 µl of bacterial suspension on a LB agar plate containing the appropriate antibiotic and the rest in an other plate LB+AB
    • Incubate overnight at 37°C
