Prep for Transformation
Lab
• 3-7 days prior to lab
o Prepare agar plates, arabinose and ampicillan,(page 13-15)
o Aliquot solutions (page 17)
• 24-36 hr prior (page 16-17)
o Rehydrate E. coli
o Streak starter plates
o Prepare pGLO plasmid
Prep for Lab Purification
• Before Inoculation Lab (Page 6-7)
o Prepare liquid culture media, shaking incubator
• Before Purification Phase 1 (page 8)
o Rehydrate lyszyme
o Set up centrifuge
Prep. For SDS Gel lab
check for supplies

Transformation
Introduction to Transformation
Transformation Laboratory
Data Collection and Analysis
Calculate Transformation Efficiency
Background information
• Genetic transformation:
Occurs when a cell takes up
and expresses a new piece of
genetic material-DNA
• pGLO plasmid contains GFP
gene and the gene for betalactamase, the ampicillin
resistant gene
• Transformed cells are found on
the LB/amp and LB/amp/ara
plates
Lab Overview
Transformation Tips
• Transform cells and spread plates
o Be careful when handling E. coli: It could cause food poisoning
- Decontaminate work surfaces every day and after any spill
- All contaminated liquid or solid wastes are decontaminated before
disposal
- All persons must wash their hands after handling bacteria and before
exiting the lab
o DO NOT mouth pipet, eat, or drink while in lab
o Wear protective eyewear and gloves
o Use a 10% bleach solution for at least 20 min for sterilization of loops and pipets
• Observe transformants and controls/Analyze and
interpret results
o Observe the color and glow of the bacteria under a UV light
o Fewer colonies of bacteria if amp negatively affected growth
o Equal numbers of colonies on both LB nutrient agar and LB/amp agar if amp
had no effect
o The presence of any colonies on the amp plate would suggest that those
bacteria are resistant to the antibiotic ampicillin
Extension Activity
• Calculate transformation efficiency
• How to determine the extent to which genetic
transformation of E. coli cells was successful
• TIPS:
o Transformation efficiency represents the total number of bacterial cells
that express the green protein, divided by the amount of DNA used in the
experiment
o Transformation efficiency= Total number of colonies growing on agar plate
Amount of DNA spread on the agar plate

Purification Phase 1
Purification Phase 2
Purification Phase 3
Background Information
• pGLO plasmid contains GFP
gene and the gene for betalactamase, the ampicillin
resistant gene
• When bacteria was plated onto
LB agar containing arabinose
(LB/amp/ara), GFP was
expressed
• When bacteria was plated onto
LB agar that did not contain
arabinose (LB/amp), the gene
was turned off
• Binding

Elution
Chromatography Overview
Purification Tips
• Purification Phase 1Bacterial Concentration and
Lysis
o Centrifugation is a technique used to separate molecules on the basis of
size by high speed spinning
o Centrifugation results in a pellet of bacteria found at the bottom of the
tube
o The liqu
• Purification Phase Removing Bacterial Debris
o This final centrifugation step serves to separate the large particles of lysed
bacteria (such as the cell membrane and walls) from the much smaller
proteins, including GFP
o The supernatant will fluoresce bright green upon exposure to UV light
o Carefully remove the supernatant
o id that resides above the pellet is called the supernatant
Purification Tips
• Purification Phase 3 Protein Chromatography
o Bacteria contain thousands of endogenous proteins from which GFP must
be separated
o In chromatography, a cylinder, or column is densely filled with a “bed” of
microscopic beads that will form a matrix through which proteins must pass
before being collected
o GFP “sticks” to the column, allowing it to be separated from the bacterial
contaminants
