NotesPlasmid pUC19 contains a multiple cloning site in the same orientation as M13mp19 and a gene that confers ampicillin resistance. This plasmid produces the -peptide of §-galactosidase which complements the lac deletion mutation in E. coli strains such as derivatives of DH5 , blue colonies are generated on plates containing X-gal or Bluo-gal; vectors with inserts give rise to colorless colonies.
