Bacterial Transformation

So, a few days go, Dillon, Kelsey and I made some bacteria grow. How we did this, was get got our little test tubes and put them in ice. Then, we got our pipet and got our bacteria E coli and put very little in our tubes. Then we added some enzymes to the E coli and let it stay in the ice for about 50 seconds. Then put them in warm water, called "heat shock". Then room temp. We got a new pipet and put a little bit on a plate containing antibiotics. Pretty soon, the bacteria started to multiply. Finally, we got a black light and they started to glow.
