Antibiotic resistant markers and Replica plating Technique – Screening recombinant methods

An antibiotic resistance marker is a gene that produces a protein that provides cells with resistance to an antibiotic. Bacteria with transformed DNA can be identified by growing on a medium containing an antibiotic. Recombinants will grow on these media as they contain genes encoding resistance to antibiotics such ampicillin, chloro amphenicol, tetracycline or kanamycin, […]
