pGLO is an engineered plasmid used in biotechnology as a vector for creating genetically modified organisms. The plasmid contains several reporter genes, most notably for the green fluorescent protein (GFP) and the ampicillin resistance gene. GFP was isolated from the jelly fish Aequorea victoria. Because it shares a bidirectional promoter with a gene for metabolizing arabinose, the GFP gene is expressed in the presence of arabinose, which makes the transgenic organism fluoresce under UV light. GFP can be induced in bacteria containing the pGLO plasmid by growing them on +arabinose plates. Adding arabinose to a liquid culture is less successfulFact|date=April 2007.

The pGLO plasmid was made famous by researchers in France who used it to produce a green fluorescent rabbit named Alba (rabbit).

Other features on pGLO, like most other plasmids, include: a selectable marker, Ori (origin of replication), and an MCS (multiple cloning site) located at the end of the GFP gene. The plasmid is 5371 base pairs long. In supercoiled form, it runs on an agarose gel in the 4200-4500 range.
