* The exact kind of cleavage produced by a v restriction enzyme is important in the • design of a gene cloning experiment.
* Some cleave both strands of DNA through the centre resulting in blunt or flush end known as symmetric cuts.
* Some restriction enzymes cut the strand of DNA, a little away from the centre of palindrome sites, between the same two bases on the opposite strands, protruding and recessed ends known as sticky or cohesive end, cuts known as asymmetric cut or
staggered cuts.
* It is necessary that the vector and the source DNA are cut with the same restriction enzyme, so that the resultant DNA fragments have the same sticky ends facilitating the action of DNA ligase to join them.

Restriction enzymes are the enzymes of bacterial origin which cleaves DNA into fragments at or near specific recognition sites within DNA molecules. This principle is used in biotechnology to cut and insert the desired gene (gene of interest) thereby generating an rDNA with desirable characters.
a) Exonucleases – remove nucleotides one at a time from the end of DNA.
Eg: Bal 31, Exonuclease III
b) Endonucleases – break the internal phosphodiester bonds with in a DNA.
Eg: Hind II, EcoRI, Pvul, Bam HI, Taql.
Three classes of Restriction endonuclease
* Type 1, II & III – which differ slightly by their mode of action
* Type II – preferred in rDNA technology as they cut DNA with in a specific sequence consisting of 4 – 8 bp.
* Hind II – cut DNA at a point of specific sequence of 6 base pairs (recognition
sequence).
* From 200 strains 900 restriction enzymes isolated from over 230 strains of bacteria with different recognition sequences.
* Restriction endonucleases are named by a standard procedure.
* The first letter of the enzymes indicates the genus name, followed by the first two letters of the species, then comes the strain of the organism and finally a roman numeral indicating the order of discovery.
* For example ECORI is from Escherichia (E) coli (co) strain Ry 13 (R) and first endonuclease (I) to be discovered.
* It contains 2 different antibiotic resistance genes and recognition site for several restriction enzymes.
This sequence is referred to as a restriction site and is generally – palindromic which means that the sequence in both DNA strands at this site read same in 5′ – 3′ direction and in the 3′ – 5′ direction.

Bioremediation:
It is defined as the use of microorganisms or plants to clean up the environmental pollution. It is an approach used to treat wastes including wastewater, industrial waste, and solid waste. The bioremediation process is applied to the removal of oil, petrochemical residues, pesticides, or heavy metals from soil or groundwater.
In many cases, bioremediation is less expensive and more sustainable than other physical and chemical methods of remediation. The bioremediation process is a cheaper and eco-friendly approach and can deal with lower concentrations of contaminants more effectively. The strategies for bioremediation in soil and water can be as follows:
* Use of indigenous microbial population as indicator species for the bioremediation process.
* Bioremediation with the addition of adapted or designed microbial inoculants.
* Use of plants for bioremediation – green technology.

- The native genes in Tomato produce enzyme Polygalacturonase and this leads to ripening follow by senescence & fruits get spoit.
- When Anitsense RNA genes inserted into Tomato plant via Agrobacterium mediated gene transfer the gene interfere with the production of Polygalacturonase, there by delay ripening, softening and further spoiling (shelf life of fruits increased).
- Transgenic tomatos can be transported to long distance with out getting spoilt.

Both ELISA and Western Blotting are indirect tests – to measure he immune system’s response to an infections agent rather than looking for the components of the agent itself.
ELISA Test
Western Blot Test
It detects the antibodies which the
body starts to produce between 2-12 weeks after being infected,
It is a confirmative test. It is less likely to have false positive results – as it can effectively distinguish between the anti bodies of the particular disease from other antibodies
It is a qualitative, sensitive test – but not a confirmative test. Eg.: HIV – AIDS
It is a clear confirmative test.
Eg.: HIV – AIDS

It include,
* Sterilization of the fermenter
* Sterilization of the culture medium
* Growth of the suitable inoculum
2. Fermentation process
3. Down stream process (Purification)
It include,
* Distillation
* Centrifuging
* filtration &
* solvent extraction.
So; for fermentation process to occur the preparation process(upstream process) is essential. If no inoculum we can’t produce culture. Also without sterilization contami-nation occur leading to spoilage of the culture by the harmful microbes.

- Antibiotic Resistant Marker (ARM) is – a gene when introduced into bacterial cells – (Recombinant) produce – a protein that provide resistance to antibiotics.
- Recombinants (A) may grow well in a medium with antibiotics (such as ampicillin, chioramphenicol, teiracycline or kanamycinetc)
- Non recombinants (B) may not be able to grow in these media with these antibiotics.
- Thus Antibiotic resistant marker is a useful selectable marker in distinguishing the two.

Bt.cotton is a transgenic plant
Bacillus thuringiensis produces 200 different Bt. toxins
Most of the toxins are effective against moths, Butterflies, Beeltes, cotton bollworms & gatflies
Cry genes produce crytoxins, when dissolved in the alkaline PH of gut of insect the toxins become active, form pores on the epithelial cells, there by sufficient regulation of potassium ions are lost resulting in the death of the epithelial cells leading to death of the larves.
