In the first part of this lab‚ E.coli cells were transformed with an R-plasmid carrying a tetracycline resistant gene‚ giving rise to tetracycline resistant E.coli strain. This was accomplished through transformation‚ which allowed E.coli to directly uptake the naked DNA molecule carrying the antibiotic resistant gene (1).
