Description Panel Resistant bacteria share resistance genes with each other Resistant bacteria survive and reproduce Treatment with methicillin kills nonresistant bacteria Some bacteria carry a mutation that provided resistance to methicillin Predict the possible outcome(s) if the antibiotic tetracycline was applied after panel 4. Check all that apply. The tetracycline will act as a selective pressure, causing bacteria to mutate in order to survive. O Since the population is resistant to methicillin and not tetracycline, none of the bacteria will survive. O Treatment with an antibiotic will not affect the overall survival of the population. O Any bacterium that has a mutation for tetracycline resistance would be able to survive.

C. Anagnostopoulos and I. P. Crawford isolated and studied a series of mutations that affected several steps in the biosynthetic pathway leading to tryptophan in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis . Seven of the strains that they used in their study are listed here, along with the mutation found in each strain.Strain Mutation T3 T− 168 I− 168PT I− TI I− TII I− T8 A− H25 H− To map the genes for tryptophan synthesis, they carried out a series of transformation experiments on strains having different mutations and determined the percentage of recombinants among the transformed bacteria. Their results were as follows:(refer picture) On the basis of these two-point crosses, determine the order of the genes and the distances between them. Where more than one cross was completed for a pair of genes, average the recombination rates from the different crosses. Draw a map of the…
Penicillin was first used in the 1940s to treat gonorrhea infections produced by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In 1984, according to the CDC, fewer than 1% of gonorrhea infections were caused by penicillin-resistant N. gonorrhoeae. By 1990, more than 10% of cases were penicillin resistant and a few years later the level of resistance was 95%. Explain the various ways this resistance could be spread among the cells. Could this resistance pass to other infectious bacteria from N. gonorrhoeae?
A microbial geneticist isolates a new mutation in E. coliand wishes to map its chromosomal location. She usesinterrupted-mating experiments with Hfr strains andgeneralized-transduction experiments with phage P1.Explain why each technique, by itself, is insufficient foraccurate mapping.
In a genetics lab, Kim and Maria infected a samplefrom an E. coli culture with a particular virulent bacteriophage. They noticed that most of the cells werelysed, but a few survived. The survival rate in theirsample was about 1 × 10−4. Kim was sure the bacteriophage induced the resistance in the cells, whileMaria thought that resistant mutants probably alreadyexisted in the sample of cells they used. Earlier, for adifferent experiment, they had spread a dilute suspension of E. coli onto solid medium in a large petri dish,and, after seeing that about 105colonies were growingup, they had replica-plated that plate onto three otherplates. Kim and Maria decide to use these plates totest their theories. They pipette a suspension of thebacteriophage onto each of the three replica plates.What should they see if Kim is right? What shouldthey see if Maria is right?
The results of the fluctuation test (Fig. 7.5) were interpreted to mean that different numbers of mutantbacteria preexisted in each of the 11 culture tubes because the mutations arose spontaneously at differenttimes during the growth of each culture. However, another possibility is that the differences in the numberof colonies on the plates are simply due to differencesin the ability of the petri plates to support the growthof colonies. For example, perhaps the selective agentor the nutrients in the media were not evenly distributed in the molten agar poured into the petri dishes.What experiment could you do to determine whetheror not differences in the petri plates were a factor inthe experiment?
Results from a Kirby Bauer antibiotic assay on a Gram-negative bacterial culture are described as follows: A) the bacterium is resistant to penicillin, an antibiotic that targets synthesis of the peptidoglycan cell wall and B) the bacterium is resistant to tetracycline, an antibiotic that targets the small subunit of the ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis. Which of the results represents intrinsic resistant and which represents acquired resistants?

There will also be a positive control that has E coli transformed with PHSG298 and a negative control that had E. coli transformed with water. Each was plated on both LB plates and LB + kanamycin plates. Match the growth pattern you expect for each transformation and each plate below for growth or no growth a.

on a gene in a microorganism that provides a characteristic you find interesting. However, I want it to be a gene that is beneficial for the microbial cell, but allows for a negative impact related to the human. For example, some strains of Staphylococcus aureus have a gene, mecA, that makes them resistant to the antibiotic methicillin. They are commonly called methicillin-resistant S. aureus or MRSA. The gene is beneficial to the bacteria because it allows for their survival even in the presence of this antibiotic but is negative for humans because it limits what antibiotics can be used for treatment. There are a large range of options here including microbe structures as well as the production of various substances so don’t limit your search. Have fun, this will be a link from the recipe found in the DNA of a microorganism to a characteristic that will cause us harm.
