Question
Chapter 17.3, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The presence of the F factor in donor as well as recipient cell post conjugation.
Introduction:
Bacteria reproduce by asexual reproduction but have genetic diversity. The bacteria transfer the genetic material to another one. The three methods by which genetic material is transferred are conjugation, transduction, and transformation.

- A particular Hfr strain normally transmits the pro+marker as the last one in conjugation. In a cross of thisstrain with an F− strain, some pro+ recombinants are recovered early in the mating process. When these pro+cells are mixed with F−cells, the majority of the F− cellsare converted into pro+ cells that also carry the F factor.Explain these results.arrow_forwardIn a conjugation experiment, How is the time of entry determined experimentally?arrow_forwardEight mutant bacteriophage strains cannot lyse a certain type of bacteria that can be lysed by wild-type bacteriophages.

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.
