Alpha complementation: Used in many vectors Distinguish E. coli with: empty vector from vector + foreign DNA
Plasmid has: lac promoter/operator restriction sites for cloning 5' end of lacZ gene LacZ α-peptide
Plasmid (NO insert) LacZ α E. coli LacZ ω Lac+(blue colonies) Plasmid + foreign DNA NO LacZ α E. coli LacZ ω Lac- (white colonies)
