Biotechnology Explorerhas a solution: a gene from a bioluminescent jellyfish and its Green Fluorescent Protein GFP. GFPfluoresces a brilliant green color when viewed using a hand held long wave ultraviolet light (pocket geol-ogy lamp).The gene for the Green Fluorescent Protein was originally isolated from the jellyfish, Aequorea wild-type jellyfish gene has been modified by Maxygen Inc.
Sep 14, 1990 · With the pGLO Transformation Kit, students use a simple procedure to transform bacte-ria with a gene that codes for a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). The real-life source of this gene is the bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea victoria . The gene codes for a Green Fluorescent Protein which causes the jellyfish to fluoresce and glow in the dark.
