coli was able to take up DNA (pGLO plasmid) via transformation. It can also be concluded that the ampicillin resistance gene was transferred (form of growth) and the gfp gene was phenotypically expressed (fluorescence from UV light) in the LB/amp/ara medium containing the pGLO+ culture. Overall, the results from the pGLO- and pGLO+ transformations seem to be accurate. However, the results are subject to imperfections due to evenly spreading the transfer DNA to the Luria broth plates. In regards to theory, genetic transformation is an important process in biotechnology. The process of transformation has allowed for the production of modern medicines such as insulin, growth hormones, vaccines and other pharmaceutical
