The LB plate was not supposed to fluoresce green light, but it was supposed to exhibit new colony growth; however, there was an error that occurred during the procedure of the lab that involved transferring substances with the same pipet. Because the same pipet was used, the liquids were mixed; thus, preventing the glowing E. Coli cells. ]]> 2016-03-07 00:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99267784 ebero https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99267795 This plate underwent no real change, which was expected.

The arabinose sugar usually turns on a gene's expression after it binds to a regulatory protein, which then detaches from the operator: effectively transcribing the gene. It also should have some bacterial colonies, as it had ampicillin, which promotes growth in transformed E. Coli cells. However, the lack of colony growth, specifically glowing ones, make it clear that an error was made in the procedure of this lab. The error resulted from the lack of switching pipets between transferring liquids within this lab. The unsterile pipets then disallowed the transformation to occur. The picture to the right shows what should have occurred on this plate with LB, ampicillin, and arabinose sugar.]]> 2016-03-07 00:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99267845 ebero https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99267876 2016-03-07 00:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99267876 ebero https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99267903 The last plate was expected to undergo slight change, as the additional bacterial colonies were included. However, almost no visible change too place, adding the evidence of the other plates which proved the lab's failure. More than likely, the lab's failure is at the fault of error: the reusing of pipets. Because of the overworked pipets, transformations were negatively affected and thus, the experiment failed. ]]> 2016-03-07 00:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99267903 ebero https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99267974 2016-03-07 00:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99267974 ebero https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99267975 2016-03-07 00:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99267975 ebero https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99268032 Our evidence did not support our claim because of the errors we made in the lab procedure. Instead of using a new pipet for each substance, we used the same pipet without changing them out. This resulted in the mixing of the liquids, making it an unideal environment for E. Coli to grow in. Had we done this experiment correctly, our evidence would have supported our claim and turned out like the picture of the bioluminescent E. Coli shown above; however, due to our error with the pipets, the evidence refutes our claim. This evidence is important because it shows how substances affect the growth of E. Coli, considering the minor exchange of substances through a pipet altered the entire experiment and did not allow for any E. Coli to grow. ]]> 2016-03-07 00:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99268032 aheisen https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99289063 2016-03-07 04:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99289063 ebero https://padlet.com/ebero/qb8e6ld2ehv/wish/99571420 Transformation efficiency is the efficiency by which cells can take up extracellular DNA and express genes encoded by it. This is based on the competence of the cells. It can be calculated by dividing the number of successful transformants by the amount of DNA used during a transformation procedure.
