Teach your students about gene transfer between bacterial strains. In 1 of the included strains of E. coli, the gene for antibiotic resistance for streptomycin is located on the chromosome. In the other, the gene for antibiotic resistance for ampicillin occurs as extrachromosomal plasmid DNA. Students use streaking to determine which bacterial strain is the donor strain. Kit contains perishable materials.
