Labs 06, 07, and 08

Thursday October 08 2009

Lab 06 - pGLO bacterial transformation

Students analyzed the results of the bacterial cultures in LB, LB/Ampicillin, and LB/Ampicillin/Arabinose agar plates. A colony in the latter will be used to start lab 07.


Lab 07 - Protein purification by chromatography

Students used a colony from the LB/Ampicillin/Arabinose agar plates generated in lab 06 to inoculate an LB/Ampicillin/Arabinose broth tube. The broth was incubated at 37ºC for approx. 24 hours in a shaking water bath at approx. 200 rpm.


Lab 08 - Ligation and genetic transformation

Students prepared competent cells (E. coli) and transformed them with the pJet1.2 plasmid that has the GAPC gene (from Arabidopsis) insert.
