At an aquarium near me they have a jellyfish that looks like it’s got a bunch of multicolored LEDs on it’s underside
the plasmide is called pGLO btw
scary
yeah jellyfish are pretty swag @Antiboom
So why’d it make them antibiotic resistant?
to make the bacteria actually take up the pGLO
we are inserting it in a petridish
and then filling it with the antibiotic
everyone that did not take it up dies
and they can grow
and then when we put it under a light
they will fluores
Also fish are cool but also kinda lame but I think a jellyfish tank would be kickass
which proves that they reacted with the plasmides for an enviromental advantage
I meant why does the pglo make them resistant?
oh its a part of the set of genes
there is one that codes for the colour
and its one that makes them resistant
this is so we can isolate the bacteria with the genes
because you cant pick and choose. you take up all of them
are you doing that in school?
GFP is the gene that makes them green
yes
or on your own
its really simple when you do it
I do it at school
could do it at home though if I just had the stuff
What is the gene that makes they taste funny?
5.5kb of DNA, huh?
Am I reading that right?
yup
arabinose operon? @Agent COVID-19
Almost makes you wish for a dna printer
lol
it is possible to store normal computer information in some types of bacteria lol @Antiboom
DNA sequencing is far beyond me. Sorry
yeah I understand @Agent COVID-19
