• Resistance-(R)plasmids, which
Plasmid contain genes that can build a
resistance against antibiotics or poisons
Classification • Col-plasmids, which contain genes that
based on its code for bacteriocins, protein that can kill
other bacteria
function • Degradative plasmids, which enable the
digestion of unusual substances, e.g.,
toluene or salicylic acid
• Virulence plasmids, which turn the
bacterium into a pathogen.

Bacterial Competence
• Not all bacteria are capable of taking up DNA from the
surrounding environment. Such bacteria are made artificially
competent. This is achieved by using chemicals and electrical
pulses.
• Chemicals- The cells are chilled and made permeable in the
presence of calcium phosphate. They are then incubated with
the DNA and provided with a heat shock treatment that causes
the DNA to enter the cells.
• Electroporation- The bacterial cells are subjected to electrical
pulses to make them permeable and cause the DNA to enter
into cells.
Atrificial competency
• SinceDNA is a very hydrophilic molecule, it won't normally
pass through a bacterial cell's membrane.
• Inorder to make bacteria take in the plasmid, they must
first be made "competent" to take up DNA.
• Thisis done by creating small holes in the bacterial cells by
different methods.
• Cells
that are undergoing very rapid growth are made
competent more easily than cells in other stages of growth.
1- Competency
• Label two sterile microtubes: one “+”and the other “-”.
• Using a disposable pipette, add 250 μl of 50mM CaCl2 solution
to each tube (“+” and “-”) and place them both on ice.
• Add 10 µl of ampicillin resistant plasmid
directly into the CaCl2 in “+” tube.
• Return the “+” tube to the ice.
DO NOT add the plasmid to your "-" tube. Incubate both tubes
on ice for 15 minutes.
