To use PCR to extract lacI (promoter, ribosome-binding site (RBS) & coding sequence (CDS)) from plasmid pMutin4 and ligate into vector pSB1AT3 in front of red fluorescent protein (RFP).

Of the 11 plates with colonies grown 7 were used for colony PCR and Streak plating. Colony PCR is less accurate than the mini prep however results can be seen quicker whereas the miniprep has a 1 day wait. The colonies selected selected were satellite colonies because ampicillin degraded'''???'''
