Abstract:
We started by performing PCR purification, rapid ligation, and transformation
experiments. The reason we performed this experiment is to remove the active thermophilic
DNA polymerase present in the PCR mixture, catalyze the formation of phosphodiester presence
of ATP between double-stranded DNA with 3'hydroxyl and 5' phosphate termini, and to
transform the Escherichia coli bacteria when expose it to extracellular plasmid DNA that
contains the pGreen gene and the gene for ampicillin resistance. In this experiment, we got 48.1
for the DNA concentration and 1.82 for the purity. Next, we performed white/blue screening and
observed a pGreen transformation. The purpose of the experiment is to perform a white/ blue
screening plate from the previous experiment along with preparing and viewing slides of
transformed E. coli with the pGreen plasmid under the fluorescence microscope. But
unfortunately the culture/ plates were contaminated from the previous lab so we just used the
plates that had the control. Then, we did a plasmid extraction and restriction enzyme digestion
lab and the purpose was to cut the plasmid into specific sized pieces and analyze the resulting
fragments by gel electrophoresis. For the DNA concentration we got 46.7 and the purity was
2.05. After that we performed a soil DNA extraction and gel electrophoresis. The main purpose
for DNA extraction in general was to study the genetic causes of disease and for the development
of diagnostics and drugs, sequencing genomes, and detecting bacteria and viruses. The DNA
concentration was 22.3 ng/uL and the purity was 1.92. Finally, we performed a Bioinformatics
analysis of 16s TRNA genes to get results for BLAST identify a strain using the EzTaxon

Introduction:
Purification of DNA from a PCR reaction is typically necessary for downstream use, and
facilitates the removal of enzymes, nucleotides, primers and buffer components. ligation is
performed by the T4 DNA ligase enzyme. The DNA ligase catalyzes the formation of covalent
phosphodiester linkages, which permanently join the nucleotides together. After ligation, the
insert DNA is physically attached to the backbone and the complete plasmid can be transformed
into bacterial cells for propagation. There are three main steps of gene cloning: 1) Isolation and
fragmentation of source DNA, 2) Inserting DNA fragments into cloning vectors, and 3)
Introduction of cloned DNA into host organisms. Also, PUC19 is used for cloning vectors that
convey the ampicillin resistance. T-vector is useful for cloning PCR products because of its T3'
overhang. Next, we started by performing the Blue/white screening and observation of pGreen
transformation. Blue-white screening is a rapid and efficient technique for the identification of
recombinant bacteria. It relies on the activity of ß-galactosidase, an enzyme occurring in E. coli,
which cleaves lactose into glucose and galactose. Transformation is an introduction of a plasmid
vector with foreign DNA inserted into competent E. coli Any colony containing the plasmid
(and therefore the functioning B-galactosidase gene) will turn blue, a result of the B-galactosidase
activity. Those colonies containing plasmids with an insert can be differentiated from those
without an insert by the color of the colony (white versus blue). The insert disrupted the
B-galactosidase gene, and therefore these colonies remain white. Colonies that did not pick up
