Best Answer

Re-streak the center of the 'star' colony (transformed surrounded by satellites) on a plate contains the antibiotic, typically ampicillin. The colonies in the tertiary streak will most likely be the transformants. If you want to be quite sure, pick a single colony from the tertiary streak and re-streak again on a plate containing the antibiotic.

Are satellite colonies sensitive to ampicillin?

Yes, satellite colonies may be observed radiating from the edges of large, well-established colonies. These satellite colonies are not ampicillin-resistant, but grow in an "antibiotic shadow", where ampicillin in the media has been broken down by the large resistant colony. Satellite colonies are generally a sign of antibiotic weakened by not cooling medium enough before adding antibiotic, long-term storage of more than 30 days, or overincubation.
