is intrinsically linked to plasmid production. Plasmids serve as the vehicle to replicate these DNA fragments in bacterial cells. By introducing a gene of interest into a plasmid, researchers can produce large quantities of that gene for various applications, bridging gaps in our understanding of gen...
What Is Plasmid Transformation? Transformation is the uptake of foreign DNA from the environment, such as plasmid DNA, typically by bacterial cells. Plasmid transformation is the transfer of plasmid DNA between organisms. Naturally occurring plasmids often confer benefits to the bacterial host, such as...

Where is the antibiotic resistance coming from for S. aureus? What is the scientific base for the resistance? What is antibiotic resistance and how does it arrive in bacteria? What is meant when you say that a bacterial population is tolerant to antibiotics? How do plasmids convey antibiotic ...
What is a plasmid? a. What is a plasmid? b. Why are they important for genetic engineering? What is a plasmid and why are they important for genetic engineering? Describe the purpose of the denaturation of plasmid DNA. What shape is a plasmid? What are plasmids? Give an example of a ...
In the aerobic atmosphere currently prevailing at the Earth’s surface, the most stable form of carbon is its fully oxidised state, CO2. The atmosphere contains 2.6 x 1012 tonnes of carbon as CO2 which is in equilibrium with even larger amounts (1.3 x 1014 tonnes) in solution in the river...
After transfection of cells with plasmids carrying the luciferase encoding gene (Luc), they are introduced into research animals such as mice, and then luciferin is injected. Changes in light intensity are detected using bioluminescence imaging technology (BLI) to monitor disease progression or the th...
What is Meant by Copy Number? Plasmid copy number refers to the average or expected number of copies per host cell. Plasmids are either low, medium, or high copy number. Plasmids vary widely in copy number depending on three main factors: ...
and external appendages. Unlike mammals and other eukaryotes, bacteria do not possess a nucleus; instead, the chromosomal DNA is found in a dense region of cytoplasm known as the nucleoid. Extra ring-shaped DNA is also found in some bacteria and these are known as plasmids (Ref 1,2). ...
These plasmids were co-transfected into a human leukemia cell line in order to produce a double stranded break to knockout 1 allele of the target gene while simultaneously knocking-in the luciferase gene. The final cell line contained one natural allele and one luciferase allele, both controlled...
