Introduction Transformation is a genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous genetic material from its surrounding through the cell membrane. The arabinose operon changes AraC from a repressor to an activator; in this experiment the pGLO plasmid has been designed with a modified operon so that in the presence of the arabinose the bacterial cells which have been transformed by the pGLO plasmid will fluoresce due to the production of GFP.

Genetic transformation happens when an organism is altered by the introduction of new genetic information which is merged into the organism’s genome. Bacterial transformation is a type of genetic transformation that was used in lab and mainly used due to the single celled nature of bacteria. In this lab‚ the engineered pGLO plasmid is integrated into E. Coli bacteria‚ and adds the genes which code for the proteins GFP in the modified bacteria’s genome (Hanahan‚ Studies on transformation of Escherichia
