Alkane degradation

There were some colonies on Tuesday's plates! We had left the plates @ 37°C yesterday after having seen that there were no colonies. When checking this morning on all plates (except the negative control) there were a few colonies! (2-50 colonies). Chances are it's not what we're looking for, but maybe they are good transformants... to check we will do a colony PCR.

1% Agarose gel of colony PCR. Gel runned at 100V for 1 hour. Of all samples 5 μL + 1 μL loadingbuffer was loaded. 5 μL was loaded of marker.

A number of colonies look promising! To check if they really are the BioBricks we want, tomorrow we will do a plasmid isolation with the cultures of lane 2, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 14. We will cut the isolated plasmids with various restriction enzymes and analyze the digestion products on gel.
