    In the laboratory, scientists can force bacteria like E. coli to acquire exogenous DNA from the surrounding environment through a process called transformation. The newly acquired genetic information is both stable and heritable.

    It was entertaining to watch the experiment along with that funky groove

      I would have preferred it without the funky groove. I found it distracting

    Sukeshj, you should contact the manufacturer of the cell strains for specific information. This tutorial was designed to complement our transformation kits designed for high school/college teachers.

    What is the function of the Calcium Chloride? Thank you!

    • @EdvotekInc
      @EdvotekInc  7 лет назад +8

      The Calcium Chloride helps the DNA stick to the cells. That way, when the cells are heat shocked, the DNA is more easily taken up by the bacterial cells.

      calcium chloride increases cell competency or the cell's ability to pick up a plasmid

  • @kgodisojudithrabapane2563
    @kgodisojudithrabapane2563 7 лет назад +3

    nice and easy to follow. Thanks. If I understand very well, this is "competent" and "transformation" combined?

    • @EdvotekInc
      @EdvotekInc  7 лет назад

      Thanks for your feedback!
      The cells are made competent when they are resuspended in the calcium chloride solution. The addition of the plasmid DNA and the subsequent heat shock transforms the cells.

    what molarity is the calcium chloride solution used ?

  • @Linausable
    @Linausable 7 лет назад +2

    How the hell the plasmids are getting though the bacteria cells membrane just because of the heat ? can it get schematised or something ? I'm curious.

    • @EdvotekInc
      @EdvotekInc  7 лет назад +3

      It's believed that the heat shock (the change from cold to hot to cold again) makes the bacterial cell wall/membrane more permeable, allowing the DNA molecules to pass into the cell.

  • @vickychen3533
    @vickychen3533 7 лет назад +2

    is it not necessary to make the cells competent through centrifuging?

    • @EdvotekInc
      @EdvotekInc  7 лет назад

      We find that centrifuging is only necessary when you wish to store the competent cells at -80C in a glycerol/calcium chloride solution. In this experiment, the competent cells are used right away.

    Sir/Mam I have two genes 1) 654bp and 2) 294 bp which are optimized for codon biasing and ligated with pET14b. When I am transforming separately to then in BL21 or Rosetta, i am not getting expression, so can help me to understand problem, so I can proceed ????

    • @EdvotekInc
      @EdvotekInc  7 лет назад +5

      Crispr is an exciting technology that is proving itself to be very versatile. We do believe that bacterial transformation will always be a useful technique in the biotechnology laboratory.

    • @EdvotekInc
      @EdvotekInc  2 года назад +1

      The NIH has a great database that describes genes that have been characterized. Here is the info for insulin www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/3630 But, remember that the insulin protein goes through several post translational modifications before it is active!

    what is the reason that put dna in cold ice ? i believe it is to lower the move of cell membrane..but.....exact reason is for heat shock?? AND!!! i can't understand about time you using....15 min...30 min... is it related with principle of experiment???

    • @EdvotekInc
      @EdvotekInc  4 года назад +1

      The exact mechanism through which heat shock works is not entirely known, but it is believed that the combination of the change in temperature plus the chemical solution open pores in the cell wall and membrane through which the DNA passes into the cell. For recovery, we recommend no less than 5 minutes and no more than 30. You will need to refer to your experimental protocol for specifics, this is just a guide.

    Isn't it a conjugation method?
    not a transformation?

    • @EdvotekInc
      @EdvotekInc  2 года назад +2

      In nature, DNA is transferred between bacteria using two main methods- transformation and conjugation. In transformation, a bacterium takes up exogenous DNA from the surrounding environment. In contrast, conjugation relies upon direct contact between two bacterial cells. A piece of DNA is copied in one cell (the donor) and then is transferred into the other (recipient) cell. In both cases, the bacteria have acquired new genetic information that is both stable and heritable.
      In this case, we are performing a transformation, where we force free plasmid DNA into a bacterial cell using a temperature change and calcium chloride.
