Transformation of Biobricks

  1. 15 biobricks were transformed into XL1-Blue
  2. Cells were grown for 1 hour and plated
  3. Plates were at 37°C overnight

  • Plate 3 had no colony (possibly due to large plasmid size - difficult to transform)

Preparation of Competent Cells

  1. BL21(DE3)-Gold was made electrocompetent
