Question

Below is shown a growth curve for an E. coli culture. As indicated, the culture was incubated in the absence of a carbon source for 2 hours until Glucose and Lactose were added; Glucose was used up after 5 hours, and Lactose was used up after 8 hours. During the time-course, you take four samples, labeled A-D, after 1, 3, 7 and 9 hours, respectively, as indicated under the graph. Assuming there is cAMP present at t=0, for each sample identify whether CAP and/or the Lac Repressor would be bound to the DNA, and explain why.
