If we were to examine a strain with the F plasmid inserted into the same site of the bacterial chromosome, but in the reverse orientation: a) What would the order of gene transfer be? Include all of the genetic markers including the amino acid and nucleic acid metabolism genes and streptomycin resistance. b) What cell types would be able to grow on the NA vs ECM media types? Be sure to include the genotypes of the cells that would grow. Remember that NA provides all nutrients the bacteria needs + no antibiotic and HCM = minimal medium + glucose + has streptomycin antibiotic c) Would we still be able to perform our mapping? Why or why not? (Hint: refer to part b above)
We transformed E coli cells with a plasmid modified to contain a 'virulence factor' which would allow growth on media containing the antibiotic kanamycin (Kan). The plasmid confers constitutive resistance to ampicillin (Amp) Assume you were given competent cells of known transformation efficiency (TE). Assume TE= 1×10[6] (note 10[6] means 10 to the power of 6). You want to have about 1000 colonies on the P-200 plate. How many nanograms of plasmid should you use in the transtormation reaction?

When plasmids are isolated from bacterial cells, they may existin a number of forms.a. List the different forms that may be found.b. Which do you think would migrate the fastest and farthest in anelectrophoresis experiment and why?
ECOR1 cuts Plasmid T into 3 pieces. Feeling grumpy at your professor (☹), you decide to take a random enzyme and mix it with a random plasmid, Plasmid M (for mystery). You run a gel and see one very large band at the top of the gel. Which of the following is NOT likely: a. Plasmid M has zero restriction sites for any enzyme b. The enzyme and plasmid are not the same as Ecor1 and Plasmid T c. Plasmid M wasn't cut at all d. The plasmid does not have a restriction site for the mystery enzyme Please answer asap and type your answer and do not copy from anywhere please
A researcher has a Trp− auxotrophic strain of E. coliwith a mutation in a single gene. To identify thatmutant gene, she uses a genomic library made from a wild-type version of that same strain to find plasmids that rescue the mutant phenotype. The result issurprising. She recovers 10 plasmids that provide aTrp+ phenotype, but six of the plasmids contain geneX, while the other four contain gene Y. Our scientisthas encountered a phenomenon called multicopysuppression, related to the fact that plasmids are usually present in several copies per bacterium. Becausethe genes in the plasmids are present in more thantheir usual single copy in the bacterial chromosome,more than the usual amount of Protein X or Protein Yis being produced from the plasmids. Sometimes,overexpression of one protein can rescue the mutantphenotype caused by loss of a different protein.Suggest at least two ways that our scientist could determine which of the two genes, gene X or gene Y, actually corresponds to the…
When a 5-kb circular plasmid is digested with a restriction enzyme that has three recognition sites on the plasmid, how many bands can be visualized on an agarose gel? a)1 b)2 c)5 d)3
Choose the one answer that fits best. The pGLO plasmid you used contains an araC gene, a GFP gene and a bla gene. If you performed the exact same experiment with a plasmid that contained a GFP gene and a bla gene, but was missing the araC gene, what would you expect to see on your four plates? a. The positive control would not have any bacterial lawn b. The negative control would have as many colonies as the experimental plate c. The LB/Amp/Ara plate would have some colonies but they would not be fluorescent under UV light d. The experimental plate would not have any colonies e. The LB/Amp plate containing E. coli (+)pGLO would be fluorescent
Most bacteria which are used in molecular biology are ampicillin sensitive and recA. Plasmid usually carry an ampicillin resistance gene to allow for selection of bacteria which absorb them during transformation. Growth of a colony on antiobiotic medium indicates that the bacteria is carrying the plasmid with the gene for ampicillin resistance, but only if the bacteria is recA. If the bacteria were recA and took up a plasmid with the ampicillin gene, what could happen that would make ampicillin resistance useless as an indicator that the bacteria is carrying the plasmid?
