coli. When Euskirchen imaged her bacteria using a fluorescent microscope, she saw green glowing back at her. “That immediately said there is nothing else needed from the jellyfish,” Chalfie said.
For example, a gene that enables the microorganism to digest oil spills or perhaps more simply, as seen in this experiment, to produce the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). The gene coding for GFP ...
