In this experiment, students will engineer bacteria that are capable of surviving on a distant planet! Students will simulate the use of CRISPR-Cas9 to modify bacterial DNA, which will then be transformed into auxotrophic E. coli that are incapable of surviving on the Martian surface. Only bacteria that receive the successfully edited DNA can survive, thrive, and help to terraform Mars!
Instructions, Purified DNA, Simulated sgRNA and Cas9 enzyme, Auxotrophic BactoBeads™, Calcium Chloride, Kanamycin, ReadyPour™ Luria Broth Agar, ReadyPour™ Minimal Media Agar, Minimal Media for Recovery, Growth Media, Assay Components, Plastic Supplies.
All You Need:
Incubation oven, two water baths, microwave or hot plate, adjustable volume micropipette and tips, balance, centrifuge, microcentrifuge, glassware and cuvettes, distilled water, ice.
Storage:
Some Components Require Freezer Storage Upon Receipt.
