Question

College of the Canyons-BIOSCI 221 Kelly C. Burke 3. Contrast the uses of the antibiotic and arabinose in the exercise. the P. bacteria grow on the LB agar without ampicili and not in the Petri dish with the LB agar with the ampicillin? 5. For the P+ plates, why did colonies "glow" on one plate and not the other? 6. How is the use of Arabinose a means of gene regulation? . How long 7. E. coli cells can double about every 20 minutes with the proper environmental conditions would it take a single transformed cell to become 100 million cells, all with resistance to ampicillin? Conclusion: Reflect on why transformation is a potential method of increasing antibiotic resistance in populations of bacteria and on how this, and the lab exercise, reinforces the principles of aseptic technique in a hospital, home, lab, etc.
