Green & Blue Fluorescent Proteins

The Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), which is responsible forbioluminescence in the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, is used extensively inall areas of science. Many organisms have been transformed with the GFPgene. It has proven to be so useful that scientists have mutated it to produceBlue Fluorescent Protein (BFP). In this simple experiment your students willtransform bacteria either with GFP, BFP or both!Kit includes: instructions, BactoBeads™, plasmid DNA, IPTG, ampicillin,transformation solution, ReadyPour™ agar, Luria broth, petri dishes, sterilepipets and loops.All you need: waterbath, 37¼°C incubation oven, microwave or hot plate,long wave UV lamp.For 10 Lab Groups. Complete in 50 minutes and grow overnightStorage: Some components require refrigerator and freezer storage
