<P> The pGLO plasmid is an engineered plasmid used in biotechnology as a vector for creating genetically modified organisms . The plasmid contains several reporter genes, most notably for the green fluorescent protein (GFP) and the ampicillin resistance gene . GFP was isolated from the jelly fish Aequorea victoria . Because it shares a bidirectional promoter with a gene for metabolizing arabinose, the GFP gene is expressed in the presence of arabinose, which makes the transgenic organism express its fluorescence under UV light . GFP can be induced in bacteria containing the pGLO plasmid by growing them on + arabinose plates . </P> <P> pGLO is made up of three genes that are joined together using recombinant DNA technology . They are as follows: </P> <Ul> <Li> Bla, which codes for the enzyme beta - lactamase giving the transformed bacteria resistance to the beta - lactam family of antibiotics (such as of the penicillin family) </Li> <Li> araC, a promoter region that regulates the expression of GFP (specifically, the GFP gene will be expressed only in the presence of arabinose) </Li> <Li> GFP, the green fluorescent protein, which gives a green glow if cells produce this type of protein </Li> </Ul>
