Dear Shin:
I personally believe that the GFP works in almost any organism. I have
screened 64 million random PCR clones for color mutants and have
expressed it in various bacterial strains and it always worked. Also,
people at the GFP meeting in Palo Alto reported positive results with GFP
in many if not all organisms tested. I think the reason why some bacteria
may not seem to fluoresce in your experiments is simply the expression
level. I have tried different promoters, different inductions and
bacterial strains and the green color intensity under UV light is simply
proportional to the expression level.
Please E-mail me if you have questions.
With best regards
Stefan Gruenwald
