Pglo And Pglo Tubes

Decent Essays
With two tubes labeled -pGLO and +pGLO to indicate which tube was the test and which was the control. To begin pipette 250 microliters of transformation fluid into each tube and then add e.coli plates. Once done close the lids of the tubes and place them on ice. Using a sterile loop remove a single colony of bacteria from a starter plate. In the +pGLO tube submerge the single colony into the transformation fluid, then return the tube to the ice bath. Gain another single colony and insert it into the tube -pGLO and return to the ice bath. Once done, with a new sterile loop collect pGLO and add the loop into the +pGLO tube and mix the pGLO into the transformation fluid. Incubate for 15 minutes. During incubation label four luria bertani broth

    Purpose and Background Cells divide in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is used to produce cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell for growth, asexual reproduction, or repair after injury. Cells that are produced by mitosis are diploid, meaning that they have two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Meiosis is used to produce haploid cells that have only one set of chromosomes, a mix of chromosomes from both parents. Meiosis produces cells that are genetically unique from their parent cells.…

    Bacteria cells are taken from the culture and literally stabbed into a gelatin medium using either an inoculating needle or loop. If the bacteria contains enzymes called proteases, the enzyme will break down the proteins found in the gelatin and will leave a liquid residue in the tube. If the bacteria contains no protease enzymes, no liquid will be formed and the gelatin media will appear unchanged. The bacteria tested created liquid in the tube which proved it was positive for the gelatin stab test and possessed the enzyme protease.…

    After being given the broth, using sterile methods I streaked a TSA plate using the quadrant method with the given broth, in hope to grow the bacteria in isolated colonies. TSA plates are a growth media that is used for the general growth of bacteria needed for culturing. It works well because the media is nonselective…

    Clostridium Botulinum Clostridium Botulinum is a single celled bacteria and has organelles, not bounded by a membrane. They are asexual and reproduce by binary fission. It belongs to Kingdom Bacteria because it has peptidoglycan in its cell wall. It is unicellular and lack nucleus. It is obligate anaerobe as well as have ability to produce by spore so it falls under Phylum Firmicutes.…

    After the preparation of the tubes, both tubes were incubated on ice for 15 minutes. Then, they were heat shocked at 42°C for 50 seconds and placed back on the ice for 2 minutes. Lastly, nutrient broth was added to each tube and both tubes were incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. The E. coli in the tube containing the pGLO plasmid (+pGLO) was swabbed onto 2 separate plates with a sterile loop. One plate contained Laurie…

    DNA plasmid was added to each of the “+plasmid” and it expresses the ampicillin resistance gene. According to the data, that didn’t happen because the +pGLO LB/amp had 3 white colonies at the end of the bacterial transformation and the +pGLO LB/amp/ara had 2 colonies that glow at the end of bacterial transformation meaning that there was an error in our “+plasmid” which occurred during the lab. We did predict that the -pGLO LB/amp would remain the same with no colonies and -pGLO LB would grow bacteria because the “-plasmid” does not express the ampicillin resistance gene. According to the data, The -pGLO LB/amp had no colonies present at the end of its transformation and the -pGLO LB had bacteria present at the end of its transformation which…

    This is done by affecting the bacteria transformation of E coli bacteria by using heat shock and incubation. The hypothesis for this study is that the one with no antibiotic or dilution there would be tremendous amount of E. Coli bacteria and with antibiotic (ampicillin) the amount of E. Coli will be lower however if the E. Coli is diluted the amount of bacteria count will be lower because the E. Coli is resistant to ampicillin. Methods…

    Gram positive: First, the bacteria sample is placed on a glass slide and heated only to the point of rendering it innocuous in terms of being infectious to the handler. Next, the bacteria sample is treated with a gentian violet-iodine solution for up to sixty seconds. The slide is then gently rinsed under clean water and the Gram solution is applied, which is a mixture of iodine and potassium iodide diluted in water. This step triggers a reaction to the gentian violet compound.…

    Next reflame the loop, then return to the TSA turning it at 90 degree angle while streaking quadrant two dragging some of the substance from quadrant one. Follow the same steps until all three quadrants are completed, but avoid entering quadrant one only take from quadrant two. The purpose of the streak plate method is to produce isolated colonies of an organism. The TSA plate was incubated for approximately 48 hours at 37 degrees simply to grow bacteria. After returning back to the laboratory and noticing growth on the TSA plate the same streak plate method was applied to the MacConkey agar and the Mannitol salt agar.…
