program image

Students will perform a controlled experiment to transfer green fluorescent protein and antibiotic-resistant genes into E. coli by using genetically engineered plasmid DNA as a vector to carry the genes. If the transformation is successful, students will witness living proof of their work:  E. coli that not only grow in the presence of antibiotics but also glow green under UV light.

Session Information
  • 2-hour session, times are flexible
