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 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.
Can you use plain normal saline solution for the dilution of the drug ampicillin?
No, plain normal saline solution is not typically used for diluting the drug ampicillin. Ampicillin is usually dissolved in sterile water for injection or another appropriate diluent as specified by the medication's manufacturer. Using the correct diluent ensures the stability and effectiveness of the drug.
How do ampicillin resistant E. coli combat the lethal effects of the ampicillin antibiotic?
The pGlo plasmid contains an ampicillin resistance gene. This gene encodes an enzyme, β lactimase, which enzymatically degrades ampicillin. Therefore, bacteria that take up the plasmid (transformants) become resistant to ampicillin.
How long does ampicillin stay in your system?
Half life of ampicillin is 1 hour.
Can you use alcohol when taking ampicillin tr 500mg?

Does ampicillin affect the contraceptive implant?
There are no known drug interactions between ampicillin and the contraceptive implant.
How does ampicillin work?
Ampicillin is in a class of medications called antibiotics. Ampicillin destroys the bacterial cells that cause many illnesses. Antibiotics are also notorious for killing the good and bad bacteria.
