A plasmid preparation is a method used to extract and purify plasmid DNA. Many methods have been developed to purify plasmid DNA from bacteria. These methods invariably involve three steps: * Growth of the bacterial culture * Harvesting and lysis of the bacteria * Purification of plasmid DNA == Growth of the bacterial culture == Plasmids are almost always purified from liquid bacteria cultures, usually ''E. coli'', which have been transformed and isolated. Virtually all plasmid vectors in common use encode one or more antibiotic resistance genes as a selectable marker, for example a gene encoding ampicillin or kanamycin resistance, which allows bacteria that have been successfully transformed to multiply uninhibited. Bacteria that have not taken up the plasmid vector are assumed to lack the resistance gene, and thus only colonies representing successful transformations are expected to grow. Bacteria are grown under favourable conditions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「plasmid preparation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
