10 points. An E. coli strain with a Tn10 that is 75% linked to a leuA mutant allele (Leu-) is used to transduce wt E. coli to TetR on rich Tet plates. If 100 of the transductants are scored on minimal glucose Tet plates how many will be TetR Leu+ and how many will be TetR Leu-?
10 points. An E. coli strain with a Tn10 that is 45% linked to the wt proВ locus (Pro+) is used to transduce an E. coli strain which contains a mutant proВ allele (Pro-) to TetR on rich Tet plates. If 100 transductants are scored on minimal glucose Tet plates how many will be TetR Pro+ and how many will be TetR Pro-?
A generalized transducing phage is used to transfer genes from a thr(+)bio(+)thi(+) donor strain of E. coli to a thr(-)bio(-)thi(-) recipient strain. When transductants selected on a medium containing thiamine and threonine are tested for growth on other media, many more colonies are found on media supplemented only with threonine than on media supplemented only with thiamine. No transductants survive on minimal media. What is the correct order for these three genes? *I have seen multiple different answers for this,...
6. Transposon mutagenesis was performed to identify genes that are involved in the biosynthesis of theA amino acid alanine. A wildtype culture of E. coli was infected with a defective phage carrying Tn10 A and the culture was plated on LB-tet media to obtain tet-resistant colony forming units. (LB is a rich growth media for E. coli and contains all amino acids required for bacterial growth) Individual CFU were then transferred to a multiwell plate containing liquid LB-tet media and...
3. (7) Suppose that you have selected E. coli that can grow only
when the medium is supplemented with cysteine. You isolate one
mutant that you believe is defective in a new gene require for
cysteine biosynthesis - cysX .
You have two strains of bacteria:
Hfr cysX - gal+ his+ lac+ pur+ trp+ ton s
F - cysX+ gal - his - lac - pur - trp - ton R
