Plasmid

Introduction: Transformation is the process where a foreign plasmid is inserted and to bacteria. The bacteria eventually intensifies the plasmid and produces a large amount of it. A plasmid is a circular DNA strand that is utilized for growth and bacteria. The purpose of this lab was to introduce bacterial growth undergoing transformation and to understand the process of transformation. Methods: Marked One sterile “+ plasmid” marked another “- plasmid” Use a sterile pipette to transfer 250 microliters

Abstract The pGLO plasmid is engineered to express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the presence of the sugar arabinose as well as the ampicillin resistance gene β-lactamase (bla) (Brown, 2011). Original E. coli HB101 do not have ampicillin resistance or the GFP gene allowing them to glow under UV light. In this experiment, we transformed E. coli HB101 with the pGLO plasmid by heat shock to make the bacterial cells competent, allowing the plasmid to enter the cell (Brown, 2011). The mixture of

Plasmid transformation of E. coli using pVIB Savannah Jacobs April 4th, 2016 BIO 335 Spring 2016 Dr. Koester   Abstract Since bacteria are haploid, asexually reproducing organisms it is important for these organisms to be able to accept genetic variability into their genome. A process called transformation, which involves absorbing small segments of DNA from deceased organisms in the natural world, does this. Transformation can also be mimicked in the laboratory using plasmid. Plasmids are small

Report Backround: The plasmid pGLO contains an antibiotic-resistance gene, ampR, and the GFP gene is regulated by the control region of the ara operon. Ampicillin is an antibiotic that kills E. coli, so if E. coli, so if E. coli cells contain the ampicillin-resistance gene, the cells can survive exposure to ampicillin since the ampicillin-resistance gene encodes an enzyme that inactivates the antibiotic. Thus, transformed E. coli cells containing ampicillin-resistance plasmids can easily be selected

Lab Report This lab is about moving genes from one thing to another using plasmids. Plasmid has the ability to replicate, so it replicates independently, and separately from the chromosomal DNA. Plasmid are one or more small piece of DNA and they enter cells as a double strand DNA. When they enter the cell as a doubke strand they do not invade he chromosomal DNA. We will also transform bacteria into GFP which is mainly from the jelly fish Aequorea Victoria. The GFP causes the the jelly fish to

bacterial transformation by plasmid DNA. This study enables one to observe various traits displayed by transformed bacterial cells. Four experiments were conducted that included (1) Bacterial Transformation, (2) Genomic/Plasmid extraction, (3) DNA Electrophoresis, and(4) Plasmid /Oxidation EMSA. In this study, a transformation of the strain Escherichia coli also known as E. coli will be examined with a special plasmid called pGLO. This study was done to prepare the plasmid into a bacterium and use it

The Effect of Plasmid Addition on Bacterial Gene Expression Introduction In the lab conducted, the main idea stemmed from the topics of genetic engineering and genetic transformation. By definition, genetic engineering is the “modification of an organism’s genetic composition by artificial means” (Lerner). This often involves the micro-insertion of genetic material. Genetic transformation is the “genetic alteration of cells resulting from the direct intake of genetic material through the cell membrane”

Recombinant Plasmid Containing Genes for both Ampicillin and Kanamycin Resistance By Valerie Weeks Lab Partner: Rachel Fahs Genetics Section 71 Dr. Tarun April 8th, 2016 Abstract The objective of this experiment was to transform E.coli into having genes resistant for ampicillin and kanamycin by using recombinant plasmids. The three steps of the experiment include ligation, transformation, and growth on media. Restriction enzymes BamHI and HindIII splice the DNA. The recombinant plasmid is formed

Abstract: Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering are highly involved with the genetic transformation of bacteria with the help of plasmid DNA. Genetic engineering ultimately alters genetic information using genetic material from another organism. The objective of the experiment was to accomplish genetic transformation using E.coli bacteria and pGLO plasmid DNA. PGLO carries an enzyme named β-lactamase that offers resistance to the ampicillin antibiotic. Therefore, bacterial cells can grow and
