Bacterial conjugation is a naturally occurring process that allows the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another, which allows the transfer of genetic traits, particularly drug resistance. The kit contains two bacteria with different drug resistance genes and all the tools for students to study bacterial conjugation. This kit teaches the difference between bacterial genomic DNA and the transferable plasmid DNA and the mechanisms of bacterial conjugation. Students will also learn important basic microbiological techniques, including bacterial growth in liquid broth and on solid agar plates, antibiotic selection of bacteria and important aseptic techniques.

  • Understand the bacterial conjugation
  • Learn the difference between genomic and plasmid DNA
  • The importance of antibiotic selection in molecular biology
  • Application of gene transfer in recombination techniques
  • Understand the importance of aseptic techniques

Also required: Shaking incubator, incubator, and autoclave (or premade LB agar).

Delivery information: Supplied with components needed for hands-on experimentation for six workstations of 4 to 5 students or 24 to 30 students. Supplied with Teacher’s Guide and separate Student’s Guides.
