From an Escherichia coli strain, five Hfr strains were isolated. The location and orientation of
the transfer origin of each Hfr strain is shown in Figure 1. You want to use these five strains
to map the locus responsible for thiamine synthesis, called thi. Each Hfr strain is sensitive to
rifampicin (Rifs) and thi*. Conjugation experiments are performed between each of the Hfr
strains and an F strain Rif Thi™.
