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 encode one or more antibiotic resistance genes as a selectable marker for example ampicillin or kanamycin, which allows bacteria that have been successfully transformed to multiply uninhibited. Bacteria are grown under favourable conditions.
