Transformation of E. coli with pGAL™
In this experiment, students explore bacterial transformation by introducing plasmid DNA and observing an acquired trait. Blue colonies indicate Lac+ gene expression. • Learn genetic engineering, central dogma, and enzyme function • Transform E. coli with plasmids carrying β-galactosidase and β-lactamase • Identify transformed cells by color and ampicillin resistance • Calculate transformation efficiency and compare to controls
