Edvotek Transformation of E. Coli + Blue & Green Proteins [1959]

The Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), which is responsible for bioluminescence in the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, is used extensively in all areas of science. Many organisms have been transformed with the GFP gene. It has proven to be so useful that scientists have mutated it to produce Blue Fluorescent Protein (BFP). In this simple experiment your students will transform bacteria either with GFP, BFP or both! For 10 Groups. Kit includes: instructions, BactoBeads™, plasmid DNA, IPTG, ampicillin, transformation solution, ReadyPour™ agar, Luria broth, petri dishes, sterile pipettes and loops. You need: water bath, 37ﾺC incubation oven, microwave or hot plate, long wave UV lamp.
