of strains‚ sub-strains of a certain species that can produce restriction enzymes. A roman-numeral is always used to show one out of possible several different restriction enzymes created by the same organism or by different sub-trains of that same strain. A restriction enzyme requires a specific double-strand recognition sequence of nucleotides to cut DNA. (usually 4-8 base pairs in lengths) Cleavage happens within or near the site; its positions are usually pointed out with arrows. Recognition sites

Biotechnology is a field of applied biology that involves the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering‚ technology‚ medicine and other fields requiring bioproducts. The concept encompasses a wide range of procedures for modifying living organisms according to human purposes. For thousands of years‚ humans have used selective breeding to improve production of crops and livestock to use them for food. In selective breeding‚ organisms with desirable characteristics are mated to produce

genes. Transformation is a way of gene variability in bacteria. This experiment is based on the transformation mechanism of bacteria and gene regulation. The bacteria used for the experiment was Escherichia coli and the genes introduces for the transformation were: gfp and bla by a pGLO™ plasmid. After the insertion of the target genes and growing the bacteria on specialized LB media‚ it could be seen that the transformants were positive for the gene expression. The transformed E. coli on the media
