Biobrick characterization

Streak BL21 bacteria on LB plate

By Charlène

BL21 from glycerol stock were streaked on LB and incubated at 37°C overnight.

Visualization

Ligation of gBlock 1.2, 2.2, 4.1 within pUC19

By Naiane & Charlène

gBlock 1.2, 2.2, 4.1 were inserted in pUC19. Two controls were made :

• digested pUC19 with only water
• digested pUC19 without gBlock

Transformation of DH5α with 1.2, 2.2, 4.1

By Naiane & Charlène

HeatShock competent cells were transformed with 1.2, 2.2 and 4.1. Another control was made (cells without plasmid). Cells were plated on LB + Ampicillin + IPTG + Xgal :

• for each gBlock, one Petri dish with 50µL of cells and another with 150µL of cells
• for each control, 100µL of cells

They were incubated at 37°C overnight.
