Using the pGLO Bacterial Transformation Kit, students can analyze the growth of bacteria on various media and examine the roles of external and internal factors in gene regulation. Bio-Rad's exclusive pGLO plasmid is constructed with the jellyfish gene that encodes green fluorescent protein (GFP), an antibiotic-resistance gene that encodes β-lactamase protein, and the araC gene, encoding a regulator protein that turns the GFP gene on and off. Bacteria transformed with pGLO plasmid are selected by ampicillin resistance; when induced to express GFP, the bugs glow fluorescent green under UV light. When students genetically reengineer bacteria with the genes from a bioluminescent jellyfish, they never forget the central mantra of molecular biology: DNA ⇒ RNA ⇒ Protein ⇒ Trait — Green Fluorescence http://www.bio-rad.com/en-us/product/pglo-bacterial-transformation-kit?WT.mc_id=sm-Bio-Education-ww-pglo_vyt_20160503_hTs4DMRglMU"
