For pPS16_002 only 2 clones were cultivated because there was not more colony. To obtain more colonies, another transformation was made with 50µL of cells and 5µL of plasmid. 50µL of transformed bacteria were plated on LB + Ampicillin (50µg/mL). Plasmid extraction By Laetitia and Alice' The usual protocol was used to extract plasmids pPS16_008 from 250μL of clone 3 overnight culture and pPS16_009 from 320μL of clone 1 overnight culture (from 28/06/16 transformation). Plasmids were resuspended in 10μL of water with RNAse (50μg/mL).

By Caroline and Mathilde
The 04/06/2016 transformations show white colony growth for gBlocks 4.2 clone 3 and GFP1-9 (clone 1), but blue colonies only for 4.1 clone 3.
Thus this last gBlock 4.1 clone 3 was transformed again following the same protocol as the 21/06/2016 with : 50μg of competent DH5α cells 4.1 ligation product in 5μL of the plasmid pUC19 4.1 clone 6 extracted DNA (which presented a good size strip on electrophoresis)
6 clones of each of the other transformations pPS16_001, pPS16_002, pPS16_003, pPS16_005 and pPS16_006 were grown in 4mL of LB with Ampicillin (50µg/mL) at 37°C, 180rpm.
