  1. Chapter 9Biotechnology and Recombinant DNA • Biotechnology: • The use of microorganisms, cells, or cell components to make a product • Foods, antibiotics, vitamins, enzymes • Recombinant DNA Technology: • Insertion or modification of genes to produce desired proteins

  2. Figure 9.1.1

  3. Figure 9.1.2

  4. Table 9.1.1

  5. Table 9.1.2

  6. Selection & Mutation • Selection: Culture a naturally-occurring microbe that produces desired product • Mutation: Mutagens cause mutations that might result in a microbe with a desirable trait • Site-directed mutagenesis: Change a specific DNA code to change a protein • Select and culture microbe with the desired mutation

  7. Restriction Enzymes • Cut specific sequences of DNA • Destroy bacteriophage DNA in bacterial cells • Cannot digest (host) DNA with methylated cytosines

  8. Figure 9.2

  9. Vectors • Carry new DNA to desired cell • Shuttle vectors can exist in several different species • Plasmids and viruses can be used as vectors

  10. Vectors Figure 9.3

  11. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) • To make multiple copies of a piece of DNA enzymatically • Used to • Clone DNA for recombination • Amplify DNA to detectable levels • Sequence DNA • Diagnose genetic disease • Detect pathogens

  12. PCR Figure 9.4.1

  13. PCR Figure 9.4.2

  14. DNA can be inserted into a cell by: • Transformation • Electroporation • Protoplast fusion Figure 9.5b

  15. DNA can be inserted into a cell by: • Microinjection • Gene gun Figure 9.6 & 7

  16. Obtaining DNA • Gene libraries are made of pieces of an entire genome stored in plasmids or phages • cDNA is made from mRNA by reverse transcriptase • Synthetic DNA is made by a DNA synthesis machine
