  • For the preparations with no plasmid added, do you observe a difference between the number of bacteria on the plate with LB alone and the plate, which contains LB and ampicillin?  Can you explain this difference?

Answer #1

Bacteria which does not contain palsmid will not have the gene for ampicillin resistance. In this case the bacteria will not be able to grow in the presence of ampicillin.

The presence of antibiotic resistance gene imparts antibiotic resistance to bacteria so that it can grow in the presence of antibiotic.

In the plate containing media alone, the bacteria will grow because there is no antibiotic in the media. This will occur even if the bacteria is not having plasmid.

But in the plate containing media and ampicillin, the bacteria will not be able to grow because of the inhibitory effect of ampicillin. This will occur only if the bacteria is not having plasmid. If we will insert plasmid into bacteria which is having ampicillin resistant gene, then the bacteria will grow in this plate.

Because of the presence of antibiotic resistant gene in plasmid, there are differences in the number of colonies in the plate containing only nutrient media and the plate containing nutrient media and ampicillin both

Please rate high.
