Question
Auxotrophic mutation 103 grows on minimal medium supplemented with A, B, or C; mutation 106 grows on medium supplemented with A or C, but not B; and mutation 102 grows only on medium supplemented with C. What is the order of A, B, and C in a biochemical pathway?

- A scientist is researching GS1, an enzyme with a relative molecular mass (Mr) of 78,000 present in a bacterium. The scientist has isolated two mutant strains of the bacterium as described below. Strain A: In this strain the GS1 protein is completely non-functional. Analysis of strain A shows that it produces a shortened GS1 protein with an Mr of only 38,000. Strain B: This produces functional GS1, but the Kcat is somewhat reduced. Analysis shows it produces a lengthened form of GS1, with an Mr of about 86,000. What type(s) of mutation may have occurred in the GS1 gene in strain A?arrow_forwardCCCP is observed to have caused increase the SDH activity in DCIP assay. Explain why?arrow_forwardYou have a leu auxotroph strain of e. coli. You suspect that if you mutagenize this strain, you can isolate prototrophic revertants. You irradiate these cells to generate mutants. A) What media should you plate these mutants on to identify leu prototrophs? answers: a. minimal media + carbon source b. minimal media - leu c. rich media d. rich media + ampicillin e. rich media -trparrow_forward
