All DH5&alpha; cells were used up in the last transformation, had to aliquot an additional 50x 20&micro;L aliquots (MC,TF)<br>

Transform plasmid DNA (Using "Competent Cell Transformation" Protocol) into newly aliquotted DH5&alpha; cells. (KG,JS)<br>

NOTES:<br>

-
AS concerned that there is something not quite right with LB liquid media added to transformed cells, but continued anyways (JV informed AS the next day that the LB liquid media had not been sterilized).<br>
