1.
Using evidence from Table 2 (Part 1, table 2 “Starter plate conditions”), explain why the
bacterial colonies on the starter plates are blue.
They are blue because the lacZ has been activated.
2.
If the bacteria on the starter plates did NOT have a functional lacZ gene, what color would you expect the colonies to be?
They would either be white or have no color.
3.
Explain how the differences between the IX and IX/ARA starter plates may influence gene editing in the laboratory activity.
The IX has no arabinose while IX/ARA has arabinose present.

Katelyn had been working for Dr. Johnson for a month, and while she had become quite good at measuring inhibitionzones, she didn’t know why she was doing all this work. She had gotten very curious after she began doing all themeasurements on a new set of antibiotics. # is experiment involved infecting mice with MRSA and tracking how theMRSA grew over time.Data were collected by counting the cells of MRSA taken from $ uid samples from the mice. # e cells were measuredby taking one gram of the $ uid and spreading it over plates, but now Katelyn counted the colonies that grew on theplate after 24 hours. Because there were so many, she actually measured the colonies as “log CFU/g.” A CFU is acolony forming unit, or essentially a cell that will divide into a colony that can be seen. Because there can be so many,Katelyn measured them on a logarithmic (log) scale. # e raw data in her lab notebook looked like the following:Table 1.

One of the early results shows that the post-centrifugation pellet of encapsulated cells also contains EA1 and/or Sap. Why is this not proof that Bacillus anthracis cells have both an S-layer and a capsule simultaneously?

Match each of the descriptions in Column A with the correct panel listed in Column B.
Description
Panel
Resistant bacteria share resistance genes with each other
Resistant bacteria survive and reproduce
Treatment with methicillin kills nonresistant bacteria
Some bacteria carry a mutation that provided resistance to methicillin
Predict the possible outcome(s) if the antibiotic tetracycline was applied after panel 4. Check all that apply.
O The tetracycline will act as a selective pressure, causing bacteria to mutate in order to survive.
O Since the population is resistant to methicillin and not tetracycline, none of the bacteria will survive.
O Treatment with an antibiotic will not affect the overall survival of the population.
Any bacterium that has a mutation for tetracycline resistance would be able to survive.

During the anthrax crisis of 2001, public health officials urged citizens not to take the antibiotic ciprofloxacin as a preventative measure. Public health officials were concerned that overuse of ciprofloxacin would lead to resistant varieties of anthrax and other bacterial pathogens. Ciprofloxacin is one of the few readily available antibiotics that can treat anthrax.
1)Do you think that public health officials should more directly regulate the availability of ciprofloxacin to ensure its proper use?
2)Why?

Penicillin was first used in the 1940s to treat gonorrhea infections produced by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In 1984, according to the CDC, fewer than 1% of gonorrhea infections were caused by penicillin-resistant N. gonorrhoeae. By 1990, more than 10% of cases were penicillin resistant and a few years later the level of resistance was 95%.
Explain the various ways this resistance could be spread among the cells. Could this resistance pass to other infectious bacteria from N. gonorrhoeae?
