    We played with e coli.  What we did was we set a sort of standard to follow and compare to with our tampering of the e coli.  What we had done was segregated a positive pGLO, and a negative pGLO into four groups.  2 positive and 2 negative.  the positive contained plasmid for the DNA to produce and the Negative didn't offer any plasmid for the DNA.  What had happened after we added just one e coli bacterium, is they reproduced up to 17 of them selves in some.  But this only occurred in the positives.  but the negatives didn't have any thing for the bacteria to produce off of.
      What came out the next day was a fair amount of bacteria in the positives and nothing in the negatives. in the positive where the amp was added the bacteria glow under the black light.  the other one just was white.
     we even added ingredients to the bacteria late, and it still reproduced.  this lab helped me gain better understanding about how bacteria like e coli and reproduce.

The movie was i good one thats for sure.   I must say though, it did scare me a bit.  You see, with people having to do tough work the rest of there life based on their genome, and not their own ability, it doesn't give anybody a fair chance.  Imagine though, getting tested when your a few minutes old and being able to know exactly what is going to happen to you and when it will happen.  It is scary.  But i must say that the movie kicked butt for sure.  Very detailed on like scraping off dead skin cells and burning em.  And with all the science, there was even some romance in it ha ha.
      I do also believe that this movie has inspired DNA researchers to excel further and actually try to do some of the things that they do on the movie.  Shoot that movie inspired me too.  To do things that people say you'll never be able too do.  Screw them, vincent proved em wrong.
