  • Transformed additional bricks from distribution with other antibiotic resistances onto plates & liquid culture.

  • Transformation success is ambiguous - the plates are covered in a lawn of bacteria, apparently indicating an issue with the antibiotic selection. This implies either a problem with the stock solution of antibiotic (Kan/Strep), or the procedure of plating the antibiotics on the surface of the LB-agar plates.
    • To find out what happened, we set up a simple experiment:
  • Reperformed the transformations on two of the bricks & plated on LB-agar plates with the antibiotic incorporated.

Wednesday 6/23

  • Transformation plates are still covered in a film of bacteria. The negative control for the kanamycin test grew bacteria, suggesting that there is an issue with the kanamycin stock.
