We added IPTG and X-gal to the LB plates for the selection of the plasmid transformed bacteria. What is the function of IPTG and X-gal?
IPTG is used along with X-gal for the purpose of blue-white screening. It is a non-metabolizable, which induces the expression of lacZ gene. Chromogenic substrate such as X-gal is required for visual screening purposes and used in visual indication.

Question 10 0.5 pts Thinking carefully about the genes on the plasmid, and the effect of arabinose on the expression of GFP, predict what will happen when we plate bacteria that are TRANSFORMED on plates containing ampicillin, but NO arabinose. the bacteria will grow and glow the bacteria will grow, but won't glow the bacteria will not grow Question 11 0.5 pts Thinking carefully about the genes on the plasmid, and the effect of arabinose on the expression of GFP,...
This is what we did in the experiment .First of all,1 µl of plasmid DNA was added into the tube which contains competent cells and the tube was tapped gently to mix DNA and the competent bacteria. After that it was placed on ice for 30 minutes. Then, the tube with the competent bacteria and plasmid were transferred to heating block at 42 °C and the tube was leaved in there exactly 90 seconds. 0.25 ml of LB broth was...
Justify please! DISCUSSION POST #2 If bacteria are grown on plates with ampicillin and X-gal, explain which color colonies, white or blue, would contain bacteria with recombinant plasmid.

E. coli strain BL21(DE3) was transformed with the pET30a+ plasmid containing the ilvC gene that encodes for E. coli KARI. The starter culture was incubated overnight in LB broth containing 50 µg/mL kanamycin at 37°C. The sample were already added IPTG and the OD600 reaches the 0.6-0.7 range. How to improve the purity and yield ?
Principle of blue- white screening method(why do the colonies appear blue or white? what do we try to recover?what are the roles of substrate (Xgal) and the gene expression inducer(IPTG)?) this experiment was GENETIC DEFECT CORRECTION WITH BACTERIAL TRANSFORMATION In this experiment we did that first of all,1 µl of plasmid DNA was added into the tube which contains competent cells and the tube was tapped gently to mix DNA and the competent bacteria.After that it was placed on ice...
Antibiotic selection allows you to determine which bacteria contain the plasmid of interest, but do not necessarily tell you if the plasmid has taken up the recombinant DNA and contains your gene of interest. Which gene, which spans the multiple cloning site (MCS), allows you to screen for plasmids that contain your insert? A. β-lactamase (bla) B. Ori C. lacZ D. X-gal
1. Fill in the table above with what you observe on your plates. 2. Bacterial transformation occurred on which agar plate (s)? What evidence do you have that the bacteria were transformed here? 3. Which plates have glowing growth? Explain what causes bacteria to glow. II. Transformation of E. coli with Plasmid DNA (PGLO) 1. Three LB (Luria Broth) agar plates are obtained. The plates contain: • Plate A: LB-Agar/Ampicillin/Arabinose • Plate B: LB-Agar/Ampicillin • Plate C: LB-Agar 2. Three...
