One colony. One! On a selective plate. There's one!! From a transformation reaction that Ping had yet to have success with. Usually there's no colonies. But Ping has one! It is a pretty normal size colony too!!
This one colony might not mean anything to anyone. But it means a lot to Ping. It could still very well be a false positive transformant. BUT it was Ping's happy news for today. A colony grew! on a plate that Ping had never had colony before! Is it a true transformant? That we shall see if it grow on the streptomycin plate tomorrow morning. Then there's the restriction digest check. But for now, a colony grew!!! Yippeee!!!! Sometimes in science, we just have to find excitement from little things. Because big things too often bring disappointments. La la la la la la!!!
