pGLO Transformation Lab
Eerie, neon green, glowing bacteria
Students understand
that changing an organism's genotype can result in a remarkably different
phenotype. Students insert a jellyfish gene into laboratory-safe bacteria
and induce production of a green fluorescent protein. Students understand the
power of this technology and discuss the economic and social ramifications of
tinkering with nature.
