What decade marks the discovery of insulin and penicillin
1920
How is insulin made?
Genetically Engineered Bacteria
What bacterial structured is typically altered during the genetic engineering process?
Plasmid
On the pFluoroGreen plasmid, what gene has the function of turning on transcription for the GFP?
T7 promoter
What gene is added to the plasmid during genetic engineering so that only the transformed bacteria will grow in the medium?
An antibiotic resistance gene, like amp
What must be present in the bacteria's environment for the T7 promoter to turn on transcription of the GFP?
IPTG
On which plates would you expect the bacteria to grow in this experimental design?
-DNA/-Amp, +DNA/+Amp, +DNA/+Amp/IPTG
