Finally, we conducted an experiment to see if the copy number of a plasmid could be regulated by varying the antibiotic concentration. To do this we grew our <i>E. coli</i> which was transformed with both the zeaxanthin producing construct and our Cs42s construct with varying amounts of chloramphenicol while holding ampicilin concentration constant. We then analyzed the recovered plasmid by digesting with XbaI and PstI and comparing the intensity of the digested plasmids on ethidium bromide stained agarose gel electrophoresis. The results below demonstrated that above a critical concentration needed to select for the double transformed cultures, copy number is unaffected by antibiotic concentration. In the picture below, the wells, from left to right, have 5 microliters of DNA followed by 10 microliters of DNA per each concentration of chloramphenicol, which is labelled on the graph as 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mM. | Finally, we conducted an experiment to see if the copy number of a plasmid could be regulated by varying the antibiotic concentration.
