AP Biology Investigation #6 - Bacterial Transformation Kit

GENETICALLY ENGINEER BACTERIA || This kit allows students to genetically engineer bacteria through transformation with a plasmid that confers antibiotic resistance EXAMINE RESISTANT BACTERIA || Students will examine the number of resistant bacteria to determine the efficiency of the transformation procedure STUDY GUIDE || Student study guide copymasters and teachers manual included MATERIALS INCLUDED || Includes calcium chloride, volumetric pipettes, pipette bulbs, micropipette, centrifuge tube, microcentrifuge tubes, sterile inoculating loop, petri dishes, Luria agar, E. Coli culture, Luria broth and coupon for perishable materials Students will genetically engineer bacteria through transformation with a plasmid that confers antibiotic resistance. They will then examine the number of resistant bacteria to determine the efficiency of the transformation procedure. Teachers manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included. Materials provided for 8 lab groups. Meets AP Science Pr
