ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:


In this experiment, students will explore the biological process of bacterial transformation using E. coli and plasmid DNA. At the end of the activity, students will have experience observing and analyzing acquired traits (ampicillin resistance and fluorescence) as exhibited by transformed bacterial cells.

• Explore genetic engineering in this elegant and expanded experiment
• Transform E.coli with either pFluoroGreen™ or pFluoroBlue™
• Select for transformed cells using LB-ampicillin plates and calculate transformation efficiency
• Expose transformed cells to IPTG to demonstrate differential gene expression
• Different plasmids help emphasize the concept of DNA>RNA>Protein>Trait
