pGLO Bacterial Genetics
Plasmid • Additional DNA found in some bacteria • Small loop • Carries one or more genes • Can be transferred from one bacteria to another.
pGLO plasmid (original form) • ori- point of origin for DNA replication • araC- gene for repressor protein in arabinose operon • araB, A and D- gene for arabinose metabolism ara B, ara A & ara D
pGLO plasmid (engineered form) • Gene for arabinose metabolism (ara BAD) has been replaced with GFP. • Amipicillin resistance has been added (bla)
