Use a safe, commonly found microbe to investigate and predict the effect of temperature on gene regulation and expression. Expression of this particular gene is easily recognized by the production of a pigment which turns the bacteria colonies red for a striking visual demonstration of gene manipulation. Further investigations allow students to design their own experiments to identify other variables which may affect gene expression. learn how to use aseptic techniques when culturing bacteria Use a safe, commonly found microbe to investigate and predict the effect of temperature on gene regulation and expression. Expression of this particular gene is easily recognized by the production of a pigment which turns the bacteria colonies red for a striking visual demonstration of gene manipulation. Further investigations allow students to design their own experiments to identify other variables which may affect gene expression. Your students will: observe the varying colors of bacteria grown under different temperature conditions; explain why different bacterial colors are produced at different temperatures; infer the mechanisms involved in gene expression; understand the relationship between gene expression and environment; learn how to use aseptic techniques when culturing bacteria.Product Weight: 0.350625 LB
