gouldbergvariations Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I need a basic layout on how to go about answering this type of question. You have available an Hfr lac- ala+ vitB+ tetS strain of E. coli and an F- lac+ ala- vitB- tetS strain. You also have a P1 transducing phage and a tube of plasmids with a gene for tetracycline resistance. These are the only supplies you can use ( besides media and reagents). Describe how you can isolate a pure strain of E . coli lac+ ala + vitB+ tetR, where all genes of interest are present in the chromosome of the bacterium. Include gene transfer steps you would use, as well as the media ( m9 or Lb) you would use to select for successful gene transfers Would appreciate any help as soon as possible, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
