The synthesis of arginine by Nuerospora was determined by examining a number of mutant strains that were unable to synthesize the compound. Use the table of bacterial growth below to 1) determine the correct sequence of the synthesis pathway and 2) where in the synthesis pathway each mutation interrupts the synthesis.

3 2. The table below was obtained by P1 phage transduction followed by media selection of an E. coli strain lacking the three genes. Determine the map order of the genes given the information provided.

10 mL of a bacteriophage suspension is mixed with 5 mL of a bacterial culture and 25% of the phages adsorb. The bacteriophage suspension has a concentration of 4x1018 viruses per mL, and the bacterial culture had a concentration of 6x1014 bacteria per mL. How many viruses are adsorbed per cell (multiplicity of infection)? What fraction of the cells is uninfected? What fraction of the cells is single infected? What fraction of the cells is multiple infected?
What cell types would be able to grow on the ECM in the following situations? F- , Hfr , Mix a) Streptomycin was not added to the ECM. b) The ECM contains thiamine. c) The ECM contains all 20 amino acids and all 5 nitrogenous nucleic acid bases
suggest a strategy that you might employ to isolate all of the genes involved in nitrogen fixation from Azobacter vinelandi assuming that you do not have nif genes from other microorganisms to use as hybridization probes and discuss whether it is possible to genetically engineer plants to fix nitrogen.
This is about genetic of bacteria.
Why might bacteria use quorum sensing to regulate genes needed for virulence? How might this reason be related to the rationale behind using quorum sensing to establish a symbiotic relationship?
Bacterial conjugation has medical consequences. For example, certain plasmids contain genes that code for toxins. The causative agent of a deadly form of food poisoning, E. coli 0157, synthesizes a toxin that causes massive bloody diarrhea and kidney failure. This toxin is now believed to have originated in Shigella, another bacterium that causes dysentery. Similarly, the growing problem of antibiotic resistance is partly attributable to the spread of antibioticresistant genes among bacterial populations. Antibiotic resistance develops because antibiotics are overused in medical practice and in livestock feeds. Suggest a mechanism by which this extensive use promotes antibiotic resistance.
Write a result paragraph of the isolation and purification of bacteriophage with E. coli Top10 with the following results: At 10^-1 to 10^-3 no plaques were formed. At 10^-4 too numerous plaques were formed. At 10^-5, 10^-6 and 10^-7 countable plates of 22, 7 and 1 respectively. At 10^-8 and 10^-9 no plaques formed but present of host bacteria.
