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.


Configuration of the GFP inside bacterial cells?

Inside bacterial cells, the green fluorescent protein (GFP) is typically encoded by a gene that can be introduced into the bacterial genome or expressed on a plasmid. The gene consists of coding sequences that allow the production of the GFP protein, which fluoresces green when exposed to specific wavelengths of light. The gene is regulated by bacterial promoters and terminators to control its expression level. The GFP protein is then synthesized within the bacterial cell and can be visualized using fluorescence microscopy or other techniques.

Why GFP colonies are observed in the plate with pQE30 and GFP construct?

Go to http://www.tsienlab.ucsd.edu/Images.htm you will find bacterial colonies will and can express functional fluorescent proteins. As for the plasmid pQE30, it looks to fit into the category of expression at this level.
