Why do the cells transformed with pUC18 and plasmid lux grow in the presence of ampicillin?

The pUC18 plasmid contains the ampicillin resistance gene (ampR) which confers resistance to ampicillin. The Lux operon on the plasmid allows for bioluminescence production and acts as a reporter gene. Therefore, transformed cells that harbor both plasmids can grow in the presence of ampicillin due to pUC18 and express bioluminescence due to the Lux operon.


Why was ampicillin added to the agar?

Ampicillin was added to the agar to selectively inhibit the growth of bacteria that are not resistant to this antibiotic. This allows for the isolation and growth of ampicillin-resistant bacteria, commonly used in experiments involving genetic transformation or selection of specific strains. By adding ampicillin, researchers can ensure that only the desired transformed organisms thrive in the culture, facilitating further study and analysis.


Why is ampicillin added to the pound medium?

Ampicillin is an antibiotic that is usually used as a reporter gene in cloning. A plasmid containing the ampicillin resistance gene (as well as another target gene within the plasmid) is introduced into the bacterial host. If the bacterium has taken up the plasmid and is expressing the plasmid, it will be resistant to ampicillin. LB is used as a growth medium and ampicillin to verify the plasmid is within the bactrium. No growth means no plasmid in the bacterial host...

What is the purpose of adding ampicillin to the NA agar medium?

Ampicillin is added to NA agar medium to inhibit the growth of bacteria that do not contain the ampicillin resistance gene. This ensures that only bacteria transformed with a plasmid containing the resistance gene will be able to grow on the agar, allowing for selection of transformed bacteria.
