In your laboratory, you have an F− strain of E. coli that is resistantto streptomycin and is unable to metabolize lactose, but it can metabolizeglucose. Therefore, this strain can grow on a medium thatcontains glucose and streptomycin, but it cannot grow on a mediumcontaining lactose. A researcher has sent you two E. colistrains in two separate tubes. One strain, let’s call it strain A, hasan F′ factor (an F prime factor) that carries the genes that are requiredfor lactose metabolism. On its chromosome, it also has thegenes that are required for glucose metabolism. However, it is sensitiveto streptomycin. This strain can grow on a medium containinglactose or glucose, but it cannot grow if streptomycin is addedto the medium. The second strain, let’s call it strain B, is an F−strain. On its chromosome, it has the genes that are required forlactose and glucose metabolism. Strain B is also sensitive to streptomycin.Unfortunately, when strains A and B were sent to you, thelabels had fallen…
Production of a recombinant protein by E. coli is proportional to cell growth. Ammonia is used as a source of N and glucose as a source of C, under aerobic conditions. The recombinant protein has a general formula CH1.55N0.31O0.25 and the cell CH1.77N0.4900.24. The yield of biomass from glucose is 0.48 gcel/gglic, and the yield of recombinant protein from glucose is about 20% of that for biomass.a) How much ammonia is needed to produce 50 g of cells producing the recombinant protein?b) What is the oxygen demand in this process?c) For the cultivation of a wild E. coli not producing the recombinant protein, how different would the ammonia and oxygen demand be if the biomass yield remained at 0.48 gcel/gglyc ?
You are tasked with cultivating the following microorganisms:A recombinant strain of E. coliA wild strain of Streptomyces clavuligerus• Suggest a storage method for each microorganism and justify your choice. You have at your disposal a refrigerator and an ultrafreezer, in addition to materials and conditions for handling microorganisms.• Propose a culture medium for each (choose a complex medium for one organism and a synthetic medium for the other)As a complement of nutrients, they must be indicated on the following scale: +++ : above 5 g/L++ : from 1 to 5 g/L+ : below 1 g/L• Describe the procedure for preparing and sterilizing the components of the culture media for a volume of 5.0 L• Make a bench process selection scheme, up to the step of selecting a benchtop reactor 5 L.
An Hfr strain that is leuA+ and thiL+ was mixed with a strain thatis leuA− and thiL−. In the data points shown in the following graph,the conjugation was interrupted at different time points, and thepercentage of recombinants for each gene was determined bystreaking on a medium that lacked either leucine or thiamine.What is the map distance (in minutes) between these two genes?
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 oftheir experimental results is shown in the following table: A. E xplain how these results are consistent with the idea that thebacterial chromosome is circular.B. Draw a map of the bacterial chromosome that shows the orderof genes and the locations of the origins of transfer among thesedifferent Hfr strains.
For the study of alanine production by a recombinant strain of E. coli, cultivation was carried out in a benchtop bioreactor with 4.5 L of culture medium, using glucose as a limiting substrate. During the cultivation, there was no lag phase and the cells showed exponential growth for 5 hours. The following table presents the results of the analysis of ammonia and glucose consumption, and alanine accumulation throughout the cultivation. Knowing that 500 mL of a cell suspension at a concentration of 5.0 g/L (inoculum) was added to the 4.5 L of medium in the reactor and that the YX/NH3 previously determined was 7.5, calculate:a) the maximum specific growth rateb) YX/S and YP/S yield factorsc) How long would it take to reach Cx = 30 g/L if the cells continued with the exponential growth profile until the end of the culture (without nutrient deprivation or any type of inhibition)?d) Describe how the mathematical treatment of the data should be done to determine the type of product formation…
A high cell density culture of recombinant E. coli was carried out according to the following strategy:-Step 1: single batch with exponential growth until 98% conversion of the substrate, starting from V0= 4.0 L, S0=50 g/L/ X0= 1.0 g/LStep 2: batch fed with exponential flow (SF-800 g/L, μ= 0.1 h-1) until reaching X= 50.9 g/L;Step 3: batch fed with constant flow (F= 0.1 L/h) for 4 hours (induction phase with IPTG)Note: consider that the quasi-steady state is reached in both fed-batch stages.Extra data: YX/S = 0.4 gx/gs; μmax= 0.25 h-1; Ks== 1.0 g/L a) What was the cell concentration reached at the end of step 1?b) For step 3, considering that the substrate concentration in the feed was 1/4 of that used in step 2, what was the concentration of cells reached at the end of step 3?C) In terms of cell productivity, which of the three phases of cultivation was the most productive?
In E. coli, the gene bioD+ encodes an enzyme involved in biotin synthesis, and galK+ encodes an enzyme involved in galactose utilization. An E. coli strain that contained wild-type versions of both genes was infected with P1 phage, and then a P1 lysate was obtained. This lysate was used totransduce (infect) a strain that was bioD− and galK−. The cellswere plated on a medium containing galactose as the sole carbonsource for growth to select for transduction of the galK+ gene.This medium also was supplemented with biotin. The resultingcolonies were then restreaked on a medium that lacked biotin tosee if the bioD+ gene had been cotransduced. The following resultswere obtained:What information do you know based onthe question and your understanding of the topic?

You are studying a type of bacteria isolated from the acidic water runoff of a mining operation. You subject two batches of the same bacteria type to different environmental growth conditions. One batch is grown at pH 2, while the other is grown at pH 7. All other environmental parameters are kept identical between the two batches. You then collect their proteins and run a Western blot using an antibody that binds to a proton efflux pump protein (which actively expends energy to pump protons out of a cell). How would you characterize the information obtained in this experiment? What does it tell you, and why is that potentially valuable information?
Prototrophy is often the phenotype selected to detecttransformants. Prototrophic cells are used for donorDNA extraction; then this DNA is cloned and the clonesare added to an auxotrophic recipient culture. Successfultransformants are identified by plating the recipientculture on minimal medium and looking for colonies.What experimental design would you use to make surethat a colony that you hope is a transformant is not, infact,a. a prototrophic cell that has entered the recipientculture as a contaminant?b. a revertant (mutation back to prototrophy by a secondmutation in the originally mutated gene) of theauxotrophic mutation?
