- Choose the one answer that fits best. The pGLO plasmid you used contains an araC gene, a GFP gene and a bla gene. If you performed the exact same experiment with a plasmid that contained a GFP gene and a bla gene, but was missing the araC gene, what would you expect to see on your four plates? a. The positive control would not have any bacterial lawn b. The negative control would have as many colonies as the experimental plate c.
