4. You have prepared a batch of competent E coli cells and found its transformation efficiency is 106 per μg plasmid DNA. A professional scientists prepared competent E. coli cells having a transformation efficiency of about 108 cells/ g plasmid DNA Calculate % score of your E. coli transformation efficiency (Τ.Ε.).
Which statement about gene cloning is false? A. Bacterial cells take up recombinant plasmids by transformation. B. Recombinant DNA molecules usually contain a DNA fragment inserted into a bacterial vector. C. To insert a gene of interest into a vector, the gene of interest and the vector must be digested with different restriction enzymes D. Transformed bacteria are plated onto media containing the appropriate antibiotic and only bacteria containing the plasmid with antibiotic resistance will grow.
Sub-cloning is a powerful technique that involves the preparation of a recombinant plasmid containing a DNA fragment of interest and subsequent transformation that plasmid. In this experiment, you preformed a transformation, but the recombinant plasmid containing phage DNA was already prepared. Describe how you would make a recombinant plasmid containing a fragment you have already generated by PCR , including what enzymes you would use and the approximate length of time each step would take.
Make a conceptual map that includes all the mechanisms of recombinant DNA induction: transduction, transformation and transfection (chemical induction, of competent cells, transformation with calcium chloride, electroporation, pyrobalistics, protoplasts, microinjection and lipofection) .. Add bibliography, No Wikipedia.
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...
You add (1.04x10^0) ng of plasmid DNA in 50 µL to 100 µL of competent E. coli cells and incubate the mixture on ice for 20 min. Following a heat-shock treatment, the cells are incubated at 37 C for 30 min. At the end of the incubation you spread (1.2000x10^2) µL of the transformation mix on an agar plate and incubate the plate overnight at 37 C. The next morning you observe (6.8400x10^2) colonies on the plate, each colony having...

RECOMBINANT DNA: PLASMID VECTOR engineering is the direct manipulation of an organism's DNA using nology. To begin the recombinant DNA process, scientists must first ide at codes for the production of the protein they want to manufacture. One is to go backwards from the amino acid sequence of the desired protein to ide sequence of the gene. After scientists have identified the gene, they m it. Restriction enzymes or endonucleases from bacterial cells are key in th ia produce restriction...
Please classify each statement as describing transformation, conjugation, or transduction in bacteria. Bacteria can acquire plasmids from outside the cell. A bacterium that contains an F plasmid connects to a recipient bacterium that lacks an F plasmid with an appendage called a pilus, through which the plasmid is transferred. Some bacterial DNA fragments may be included when new phage particles are assembled. A cell can be treated to make it competent to take up DNA from its environment. When a...
2) With reference to production of recombinant DNA answer the following questions: i) what is "plasmid" and how is it isolated from a cell (1 point); ii) what is "insert" (1/2 point); iii) name the enzyme used for cleaving and generating sticky ends on the plasmid and insert (1 point); iv) name the enzyme used for joining sticky ends of plasmid and insert to produce a molecule of recombinant DNA (1 point); v) name the most common microbial host cell...
