UncleAl Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 1) Don't diddle with anything called "cute" by PETA. Stay with stuff that grows in a Petri dish. 2) Yeast is cheap and available in any supermarket baking stuff aisle. It's colonies are white. 3) Serratia marcescens is deep red. Sarcina Lutea is bright yellow. Chromobacterium violaceum is a lover, http://www.tigr.org/tigr-scripts/CMR2/GenomePage3.spl?database=ntcv01http://web.umr.edu/~microbio/BIO221_2000/Chromobacterium_violaceum.html http://www.pelletlab.com/living--bacteria.htmhttp://www.sargentwelch.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_WL23814_ST_A_Basic+Pigmented+Bacteria+Set_E_Pigmented bacteria sets 4) Grow a big batch of colored bacteria. Extract their DNA. Expose damaged growing yeast to the DNA (e.g., remove cell walls, then electroporation, then recovery) and see if you can get mutated colored yeasts. 5) Or just plate the little fellas (and mixed cultures) and blast with UV, charting survival and dominance vs. UV dose and color, http://www.epa.gov/wed/pages/publications/abstracts/archived/tong97.htm GoogleSerratia implants 13,900 hits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boerseun Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 anyone have any Ideas for an experiment involving DNA???????????????Here's one: Shag your neighbour's daugher. Inspect the offspring for any resemblance to you. If the offspring does indees show signs resembling you, deny any culpability.SKIP TOWN.Not a very noble experiment, but it does serve to illustrate heredity, at least.

learnin to learn Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Do I have to use electrophibrosis to identify dna or are their other methods, using enzymes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
