Ms. Brewer’s advanced biology students took an adventure into the work of biotechnology and genetically modified bacteria in their classroom 🦠
The #GreenonKnights students took ordinary E. coli and transformed it . E.coli does not generally produce proteins to make it glow, but this experiment allowed students to add genes that coded for a protein that glows in black light!
Science is fun!
