#APBio students share the results of pGLO bacterial transformation inquiry experiments. Pictured are changes in the amount of ampicillin and changes in the amount of arabinose- a sugar that turns on the GFP jellyfish gene. #ThisIsIrmo #pGLO #BioRad

Fun with pGLO and transformed E. coli! #ThisIsIrmo #APBio #pGLO #BioRad

[Allison Smith @absmith_IHS]

What happens if......? AP Bio students transformed bacteria to express the jellyfish GFP gene. Now we are using inquiry to explore factors that affect transformation efficiency. #APBio #ThisIsIrmo #pGLO #BioRad
