Participants: Kristian K, Anne and Caroline
Purpose: Streaking and colony PCR
Results:

A single colony is transferred to 500 μl sterile MilliQ water with an inoculation loop, the same loop is then used to streak on a LB CAM plate.

A PCR mastermix was made as it was the 140613, however, there was not added template to the mastermix, and there was added 0.5 μl Polymerase and 30.5 μl MilliQ water per reaction. 49 μl master mix was transferred to a PCR tube and 1 μl of the dissolved single colony. The PCR was run on the same program as 140613 with annealing temperature of 51 °C.
