Transformation Tuesday
This week in the lab, we took the L40 bait and transformed the cells onto media plates. The cells grew over the course of a few days. Before we transformed the bait onto the plates, I had to prepare the media, autoclave it, and then pour the plates. It is a fun process but can get a bit messy because the agar turns into a jello-like consistency pretty quickly once it gets spilled. Next week in the lab, we will work on the next steps in the transformation process and do a total of thirty transformations.
