Investigator: Ingmar

Aim of the experiment: Picking of of E. coli XL1 blue transformed with the ligation products of F52+F53, F59+F58, F59+F54, F59+F55, F59+F57 and F59+F56

Procedure:

  • The picked colonies were transferred into cell-culture tubes with air-permeable, sterile cover containing 4 mL of LB-medium + 4 µL chloramphenicol(1000x) or ampecillin (1000x).
  • 2 colonies of each agar plate were picked.
  • These tubes were transferred in a cell culture shaker at 37 °C and were incubated overday.
  • The ligation of F42 and F51 was not successful and has to be repeated. One reason for the failure could be secondary structures of the promoter. Therefore the new ligation batch should be heated to 95°C for a while before adding the T4 ligase.
