Which organelles inside bacteria make green fluorescent protein?

Organelles inside bacteria do not 'make' GFP. GFP can however be expressed in bacteria by adding the coding sequence for GFP to their genome. This can be done by using a plasmid virus containing the GFP gene sequence. When combined with the plasmid, a very small number of bacteria will take up the plasmid's genome into their own. These bacteria can be isolated by using the 'transform or die' mechanism. Bacteria that do not contain the plasmid are preferentially killed by adding an antibody to the agar. The normal bacteria will not be resistant to this, and will die, but the bacteria which have taken up the plasmid into their genome will also contain an antibody resistance gene. This allows them to live in the presence of the antibody. Since GFP was also added to these bacteria's genome, they will fluoresce.


Why do some absorbing compounds flouresce and other not?

Absorbing compounds fluoresce because of their molecular structure reduces the probability of non-radiative deactivation processes.

Is there bacteria on bacteria?

There are no bacteria on other bacteria. Some bacteria do attack other bacteria by piercing their cell wall and injecting proteins.Viruses can attack bacteria. They are called bacteriophages.

What is meant when they say florescents have been observed when drilling for oil?

Light waves shorter than the visible blue violet waves of the spectrum. crude oil, colored distillates, residuum, a few drilling fluid additives, and certain minerals and chemicals fluoresce in the presence of ultraviolet light. these substances, when present in mud, may cause the mud to fluoresce.
