Green fluoroescent protein can be found in aequorea victoria, the "crystal jelly," from which it was first isolated. Some genetically altered animals also contain green fluorescent protein, such as the rabbit Alba and Yorktown Technologies' "GloFish" zebrafish.

What is green fluorescence protein?
This is a fluorescent label used in fluorescent miscroscopes. It is a protein that is produced by the bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea victoria; used to trace the synthesis, location, and movement of proteins of interest in cell biology research. It is used to label live cells; passively difuses across plasma mebrane. It is called Aequorin; it is a Luciferin.Green fluorescent protein (GFP) glows in ultraviolet light.
What element is found in fluorescent light fixtures?
Mercury

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.

Fluorescent beige
What does it mean to dream about fluorescent green?
More information is needed to give a meaningful interpretation. Colors in dream are not significant in themselves. A fluorescent green vine would mean something very different from a fluorescent green snake.
What research has been done on ovarian cancer?
Researchers at the University of Alabama engineered a common cold virus to infect ovarian cancer cells with a green fluorescent protein that reveals the cancer cells.

How do you spell floressant as in a bright green color?
The correct spelling is fluorescent (glowing).
What causes an egg yolk to be a fluorescent yellow green?
A fluorescent yellow green egg yolk is likely caused by a high amounts of riboflavin (vitamin B2). This can give a yellow green tinge to whites. Otherwise it could be caused by a bacterial infection in the egg and should not be eaten.
How do they make the GloFish glow I mean I know its a GM animal but what made it glow?
I got this info from "http://www.glofish.com/faq.asp#TheScienceofGloFish" Where does the fluorescent color come from?The fluorescent color in our fish is produced by a fluorescent protein gene, which creates the beautiful fluorescence that can be seen when looking at the fish. The fluorescent protein genes occur naturally, and are derived from marine organisms. Exactly how is the fluorescent protein gene added to the fish? Every line of GloFish® fluorescent fish (i.e., GloFish® Starfire Red® Zebra, GloFish® Electric Green® Zebra, and GloFish® Sunburst Orange® Zebra) starts with a single fish. The process begins by adding a fluorescence gene to the fish before it hatches from its egg. Once the gene integrates into the genome (i.e., genetic code) of the embryo, the developing fish will be able to pass the fluorescence gene along to its offspring upon maturity. Because of this, the gene only needs to be added to one embryo; from that point forward, all subsequent fluorescent fish are the result of traditional breeding.
