February 20th‚ 2014 Lab report 4 Abstract This pBlu lab had for purpose to present the changes of the strain of E. coli bacteria due to new genetic information being introduced into the cell. In this experiment we are freezing and heat shocking the E. Coli bacteria that is then forced to take the plasmid DNA. The E. coli then transforms the pBLu plasmid‚ which carries the genes coding for two identifiable phenotypes. After following the Carolina Biological steps our lab worked well and we able

Bacterial Transformation Lab Introduction: In this experiment we transformed a strain of E. Coli bacteria without antibiotic resistance with plasmid DNA. This plasmid produces a fluorescent green glow under black light due to the gfp(green fluorescent protein) as well as antibiotic resistance. E. Coli cells will be plated on an agar medium‚ some with and some without the antibiotic ampicillin. Only bacterial cells that contain the plasmid will survive the ampicillin and produce the green glow

Lab Report (Scientific Paper) 2: Bacterial Transformation;DNA Extraction Part I & II:Total Genomic Extraction & Plasmid Extraction;Electrophoresis By:Chris Foster Abstract: We conducted three experiments that included a Bacterial Transformation‚ a two process DNA extraction‚ and a final procedure using gel electrophoresis. The Bacterial Transformation lab was performed to prepare the plasmid into a bacteria and to use that bacteria to amplify the plasmid in order to make large quantities

inserted into the E.Coli. The purpose of the lab is to see if we can make the E.Coli glow and resistant to ampicillin. In the lab we were transforming a north american jellyfish by the name Aequorea victoria to produce GFP‚ which is a fluorescent protein which causes them to glow green only if it has its friend arabinose sugar “ARA” and if it’s under an ultraviolet light . We are expecting to see the bacteria grow and glow when the genetic transformation is completed. Throughout the few days the

Conclusions of DH5α DNA transformation with red colonies resistance to ampicillin and the lacZ gene Introduction: In this experiment‚ a plasmid with a gene that has resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin and has lacZ is used to transfer the resistance into E. coli bacteria in red colonies. This same technique is used to give diabetics their insulin‚ and to give dwarfs growth hormones. The point of this lab is to give the groups an idea how DNA can

Luria Broth. Once again‚ one will contain plasmid and one will not. The research question for this experiment is: What is the difference in the transformation efficiencies between pFLO and pBLU. Before completing this lab‚ a first trial was done following the same procedure below but instead of pFLO‚ pBLU was used. It is believed that the transformations efficiencies should be similar due to the fact that both plasmids are

Transformation Lab Report Introduction Transformation is the transfers of virulence from one cell to another‚ through the transferring of genetic material. It was originally postulated in 1928 through the works of Federick Griffith‚ a British microbiologist. Griffith observed that the mutant form‚ non-virulent form‚ of the bacteria Streptococcus Pnumoniae could be transformed into the normal‚ virulent form‚ when injected into mice along with heat killed normal forms. He concluded that somehow

In this lab‚ we performed a genetic transformation through the process of gene transfer. Gene transfer involves the insertion of a gene into an organism. The gene to be inserted is usually contained in a plasmid‚ which is relatively small‚ circular non-chromosomal DNA molecule typically found in bacteria. Once the plasmid containing the gene is inserted into the organism‚ it is absorbed into the organism’s own genetic code. After this occurs‚ the newly introduced gene begins coding for proteins‚

Title of the lab: Transformation : Bacterial Genetics Purpose of the lab: The pupose of the lab was to transfor a bacterial E. Coli by using the green flurescent protein from the jellyfish. Another important that was fferdone by making the cell competency‚ meaning that it will be able to take on additional DNA. This was done when the plasma was added. Materials: 1. 37 o C water bath 2.

Introduction Transformation is a genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous genetic material from its surrounding through the cell membrane. The arabinose operon changes AraC from a repressor to an activator; in this experiment the pGLO plasmid has been designed with a modified operon so that in the presence of the arabinose the bacterial cells which have been transformed by the pGLO plasmid will fluoresce due to the production of GFP.
