DNA sequencing of the entire H. influenzae genomewas completed in 1995. When DNA from the nonpathogenic strain H. influenzae Rd was compared tothat of the pathogenic b strain, eight genes of the fimbrial gene cluster (located between the purE andpepN genes) involved in adhesion of bacteria to hostcells were completely missing from the nonpathogenic strain. What effect would this deletion have oncotransformation of purE and pepN genes using DNAisolated from the nonpathogenic versus the pathogenic strain?
Given what we've discussed in class, what will be most likely outcome if
you conjugate an streptomycin resistant ampicillin sensitive methionine auxotroph E.
coli strain (engineered to be pir+) that is F- with a streptomycin sensitive non-HFR
methionine prototroph strain that is F- and RP4+ but contains pUC18?
Colonies on minimal media + ampicillin +streptomycin plates
No colonies on minimal media +ampicillin +streptomycin plates
In the Avery, McLeod, McCarty Experiment where supernatant from heat killed, virulent S Strain pneumonia solutions were added to non-virulent R Strain pneumonia cell cultures and allowed to grow in liquid media (i.e., broth). In tubes where Protease was added to the supernatant prior to cell culture, what was the observed effect when plating and growing the S. pneumonia cells to solid media?

- Type S Streptococcus pneumoniae bacterium is lethal and will kill its host. If heat inactivated the S strain dies and becomes nonlethal. Type R Streptococcus pneumoniae is a nonvirulent strain of bacteria. What would occur if one were to inject both the R strain and heat-killed S strains into a host organism such as the mouse? The R strain would be transformed into the virulent S strain and kill the host. Neither the S nor the R strain would change. The R strain would be transformed into the virulent S strain and not affect the host. The S strain would be transformed into the nonvirulent R strain and not affect the host The S strain would be transformed into the nonvirulent R strain and kill the host.arrow_forwardThe 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. A “+" indicates growth.

Mutant strains, lacking the “ice” gene, have been applied to plants to try and protect the plants from wild-type P. syringae-induced frost. Assume that I am telling the truth that wild-type P. syringae nucleates ice formation at -2 °C, and provide an explanation as to why application of this altered (mutant) bacterium to plants might be a beneficial agricultural strategy in areas where morning lows occasionally dip down to 28-30 °F.arrow_forward
- By conducting conjugation experiments between Hfr and recipientstrains, Wollman and Jacob mapped the order of many bacterialgenes. Throughout the course of their studies, they identified severaldifferent Hfr strains in which the F-factor DNA had been integratedat different places along the bacterial chromosome. A sample of theirexperimental results is shown in the following table:Analyze data. Compare and contrast. Make a drawing.arrow_forwardDescribe the differences between the F factor and Hfr transfer. Include how the donor and recipient are affected in each type of conjugation.arrow_forwardA shuttle vector is a vector constructed so that it can propagate in two different host species. One of the most common types of shuttle vectors is the yeast shuttle vector. (1) Name the THREE (3) most common yeast shuttle vectors.

- Linkage maps in an Hfr bacterial strain are calculated in units of minutes (the number of minutes between genes indicates the length of time that it takes for the second gene to follow the first in conjugation). In making such maps, microbial geneticists assume that the bacterial chromosome is transferred from Hfr to F − at a constant rate. Thus, two genes separated by 10 minutes near the origin end are assumed to be the same physical distance apart as two genes separated by 10 minutes near the F −attachment end. Suggest a critical experiment to test the validity of this assumption.arrow_forwardBriefly explain, using the bacteria's response to environment, why the time =0 minutes is often not usable as the first point in log phase.arrow_forwardIn E. coli, four Hfr strains donate the following markers,shown in the order donated:Strain 1: M Z X W CStrain 2: L A N C WStrain 3: A L B R UStrain 4: Z M U R BAll these Hfr strains are derived from the same F+ strain.What is the order of these markers on the circularchromosome of the original F+?arrow_forward
