pGLO Lab

The number of the colonies in the -pGLO/LB were almost none. The number of colonies in room light and UV light were also none. It was the same for the -pGLO/LB/AMP. In the +pGLO/LB/AMP there were many colonies. In room light, there were many colonies, but in the +pGLO/LB/AMP/ARAC there were many volumes in room light and in UV light. The 2 new traits that the transformed bacteria have are resistance to ampicillin and fluorescent light. I estimate that there were millions of bacteria in 100 microliters of bacteria because many bacteria have to be in the solution for the plasmid to be sure to be transferred. The role of the arabinose is to feed the bacteria to allow it to grow more. Some current uses of GFP in research and science is to make things glow to observe the effects and practicality of this protein. Another application of genetic engineering is to produce many proteins that we want such as insulin for our benefit.
