Result:
- After 12 hous of incubation there were some (~20) colonies on the 50µl-plate transformed with Cam-resistence-plasmids. The transformation seems to have been succesful, though cells grow slow.
- There were no colonies on the plates with the untransformed E.Coli. Hence we can assume that there are no other plasmids with resistences against kan, tet, amp or cam in our batch of competent cells.
