To construct a genomic library of Veillonella parvula H2, total DNA was extracted, sheared by a Hydroshear machine, and the DNA fragments ligated a into Smal-digested vector pUC18 before being transformed into E. coli DH5a. Colonies were selected on Luria-Bertani (LB) plates containing ampicillin, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indoyl-3-galactose (X-gal), and isopropy-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) and proliferated. Recombinant plasmids were analysed for the presence of inserted DNA fragments of 3-4 kb by restriction mapping. The titre of the library was determined to be 10⁵ pfu/mL according to the formula N=ln(l-p)/(l-f). The genomic library consisted of 99% of the genome of Veillonella parvula, demonstrating a successful library construction.
