In a transformation experiment, you mix E. coli competent cells with a small amount of pGFPuv plasmid DNA. After performing the heat shock and incubations according to the protocol, you then spread your cells on two separate agar growth media. One is a complete medium called "LB" that allows rapid growth of all cell types. The other is the same LB medium that has been augmented with the antibiotic ampicillin; it supports the growth of only those cells that have acquired an antibiotic resistance gene for ampicillin, presumably via a transformation procedure. A typical set of results appears within the support document that accompanies the transformation and PCR lab handout.
Describe the bacterial growth that appears on the two plates shown in the support document. Which of the two plates, Plate 1 or Plate 2, contains the ampicillin antibiotic? Please explain your answer.
