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

i think oled displays are inspired from jellyfish or smt

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?
