Grow yeast cells that produce fluorescent proteins.
This experiment allows you to culture yeast that already contain fluorescent genes, making it easy to observe glowing colonies under blue light while learning the basics of yeast biology.
• Grow fluorescent yeast colonies
• Observe fluorescence under blue light
• Culture yeast on agar plates
• Fluorescent proteins and gene expression
• Yeast biology and culturing methods
• Microbial genetics fundamentals
