    in many places such as in animal intestines and the environment. These bacteria have a simple structure and are quick to reproduce (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015). Because of this, scientists know a lot about E. coli. In this experiment, the E. coli will be exposed to a pGLO plasmid; each plasmid has an Ori, pBAD, araC, bla, and GFP. The Ori, origin of replication, is the site of DNA replication in the plasmid. On these DNA strands is the pBAD promoter, a sequence of DNA used…

    against Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas putida, Acinetobacter baylyi, Escherichia coli, and Enterobacter aerogenes by the streak-plate method, which can be seen in Table 2. As demonstrated in Table 2, none of the antibiotic producers were found to be resistant against Enterococcus faecalis or Pseudomonas putida. Table 2 also showed isolates 3 and 4 were resistant to Acinetobacter baylyi, isolate 12 was resistant to Escherichia coli, and isolates 12 and 16 were resistant to Enterobacter…

    The Transfer of the pGLO plasmid into Escherichia coli from the DNA of Aequorea victoria Introduction The goal of this lab is to be able to take the gene responsible for allowing organisms to glow in the dark, called Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), located in the pGLO plasmid, and move it from the DNA of the Aequorea victoria to bacteria, Escherichia coli. The pGLO plasmid is found naturally in some organisms such as the A. victoria,…

    The carbohydrates present on the cells surface can act as a receptor for many pathogens to facilitate cell-cell adhesion through which humans can be infected, for example, mannose binds pathogenic bacteria E. coli and sialic acid binds influenza virus. Therefore, cell surface can be mimicked by preparing SAMs of carbohydrates to study and understand different types of binding and inhibition studies in vitro. SAMs of carbohydrates are also used for detecting disease biomarkers and carrying drugs.…
