Analysis of Bacterial Transformation efficiency simulation
Published 6 September 2026
Abstract
In this study the process of bacterial transformation in Escherichia coli is explored by using the heat shock method and assesses the expression of recombinant DNA through selective plating. To identify successful genetic uptake and expression the recombinant plasmid pARA-R, containing the red fluorescent protein (rfp) gene and ampicillin resistance gene (ampR) was injected. Following transformation, bacteria were cultured on selective
media to identify successfully transformed colonies. This investigation demonstrates how recombinant DNA technology and selective growth conditions are used to confirm gene transfer and expression in bacterial systems.
