AK400 strain has Lac+ gene which metabolize lactose in the
medium. So in MacConkey agar
it form red colonies.
AK403 is Lac- strain which not able to metabolize lactose in the
medium. So in MacConkey agar
it form white colonies.
When AK400 Lac+ gene is transfer to AK403 strain, AK403 also now
has a capacity
to metabolize lactose and forma a Red colonies in the medium.
The only difference we can see in the AK403 after conjugation is
it contain both white and red colonies
because not all AK403 undergoes conjugation so still some cells
have Lac- gene.

Lactose (or rather, its derivative allolactose) can lift the Lac Repressor protein from the Operator site...
Lactose (or rather, its derivative allolactose) can lift the Lac Repressor protein from the Operator site in DNA, thus allowing for expression of the genes coded by the Lac Operon. However, lactose cannot cross the bacterial cell membrane without the help of the Permease protein channel, which is coded by the lacY gene in the Lac Operon. So, it appears that we have a case of "what's first, the chicken or the egg?" - how can lactose enter the cell...

The lac operon contains a DNA sequence known as the lac promoter (P or P+ for wild type; Pā for mutant (RNA polymerase does not bind)) that serves as the RNA polymerase binding site. The lac operon also contains a DNA sequence known as the Lac operator (O or O+ for wild type; Oā or Oc for mutant (lac repressor cannot bind)) which is the binding site for lac repressor. The lac repressor, a protein, is encoded by the lac...

In this problem you will explore how to solve problems involving partial diploid lac operon bacterial strains. Bacterial strains that are "partially diploid" have two copies of the lac operon because they aquired a plasmid carrying just the lac operon region. One copy of the lac operon region is on the recipient's bacterial chromosome, and the other copy is on the P plasmid that was introduced into the cell by conjugation. Partial diploid genotypes are written with the P segment...

5. Jacob, Monod, and Pardee used various E.coli mutants to help determine how the lac operon is regulated. The descriptions of some of the mutants are listed. For each E. coli mutant determine if the lac operon would be on or off in a lactose-only environment. laci mutant: This mutant produces a super repressor that is not inactivated by allolactose. It will still stick. Operater will be off, lacO mutant: This mutant has an altered operator sequence so that the...

You are asked to develop a demonstration to show how the
lac operon works. You decide to use X-gal and IPTG to
determine if the enzyme ?-galactosidase is active. X-gal is a
lactose analog that turns blue when metabolized by ?-galactosidase,
but it does not induce the lac operon. IPTG is an inducer
of the lac operon, but is not metabolized by ?-galactosidase.

6. The transposon Tn5 was used to create a library of 50,000 Escherichia coli mutant strains having random Tn5 insertions in their chromosomal genes. A suicide delivery plasmid vector that carries Tn5 was used for this purpose. Explain how and why a suicide delivery plasmid was used to generate this library and give one (1) example of how you would screen this library to find mutants with Tn5 insertions in specific genes of interest, for example, in the lac (lactose)...
