very very fluorescent cum

It fluoresces green, huh?

yes

For some reason I was picturing blue

Because that’s how most things fluoresce afaik

it flouresces green if it reacts with blue light

Blue light?

yes

400 nm

Here I thought most fluorescent things only reacted with ultraviolet kind of frequencies

green

But that’s p cool

green is the lamest

Didn’t know

Green on rocks can look p cool

Most do. But these are genes taken from a jellyfish @Antiboom

even fluorescent brown is more interesting than green

I was at a rock museum one time when I was a kid and they had ultraviolet lights you could pick up and it made these random ass looking rocks turn like 4 different colors

we are using genes from this guy!

Cool

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
