How would you explain the result of few white colonies among blue colonies on their LB/ Amp / X-Gal+ plates? Introduction: Transformation is a process of genetic alteration of a cell that occurs from the direct uptake and incorporation of genetic material from its environmental surroundings. The transformation is carried out through the cell membrane. In this process, the small fragments of the genomic DNA of the host cell have the ability to enter into the recipient cell and become incorporated into its genome.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
