(an antibiotic that kills bacteria). This idea can be proven by comparing the two plates that had both the pGLO and the ampicillin, to the plate that had just the ampicillin. Which in this case is the control of the experiment. In the two plates containing the pGLO, the bacteria was able to grow. In the plate with just ampicillin, none of the bacteria survived. The plates with both pGLO and ampicillin grew differently than the plate with neither ampicillin nor pGLO. Our findings show that arabinose had to be present in order for the bacteria to glow. This is proven by the fact that the only plate that contained arabinose happened to be the only one that glowed under the UV light. In this case the plate with the +pGLO, the LB, and the ampicillin would be the control, for it only had one change between it and the plate that glowed. The difference between the two was
