Post Lab Questions | Mandatory for All Students
Which genes when transferred into E. coli will induce the production of lycopene and beta-carotene, respectively? Why do the plasmids that are transferred into the E. coli need to contain an antibiotic resistance gene? What outcomes might we expect to see when we vary the media, presence of fructose, and temperature conditions of the overnight cultures? Generally describe what “OD600” measures and how it can be interpreted in this experiment. OD600 is optical density at 600 nanometer wavelngth … this helps measure how cloudy the liquid is, to determine cell growth.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/eric-millikin/labs/week-12-lab-bioproduction/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
