A heat shock transformation was performed. 20 µL of (Y4 + Pliag) DNA was added to 10 µL of competent NEB cells. This was plated on LB chloramphenicol plates and incubated overnight at 37 °C.

Transformation results

White colonies were visible. A colony PCR was performed. PCR showed possible insert in sample 9 and 13. Cultures were grown overnight to check for the insert. The overnight cultures were grown in LB + chloramphenicol (3mL) at 37 °C, 200rpm.
