Ligation of Lov2 into pGEM T-Easy

15ul total volume

  • 7.5ul ligase buffer
  • 1ul T4 DNA ligase
  • 0.5ul vector DNA
  • 1.5ul insert DNA
  • 4.5ul dH2O

Incubated overnight at 4C (starting 3:45PM)

Result of LacI reporter retransformation

5ul of DNA added, ~8ng total

  • Plate still grew at a very high density
  • We will repeat with even less DNA

Re-retransformation of LacI reporter

Used 0.5ul DNA @ 1.6ng/ul so ~800pg total. Plated @37C overnight.

Miniprep+Glycerol stock of araC

Miniprep yielded a final concentration of 35.3ng/ul. A glycerol stock of araC (in DFBalpha, Kan+) was stored.
