A number of nutritional mutant strains were isolated from wild-type Neurospora that responded to the addition of certain supplements in the culture medium by growth ( + ) or lack of growth ( -). Given the following responses for single gene mutations, diagram a metabolic pathway that could exist in the wild-type strain that is most consistent with the data. Indicate where the pathway is blocked in each mutant strain.

Donor strain of bacteria with His+ Ara+ Met+ Leu+ Cys+ Lys+ is infected with phages to map the donor chromosome with generalized transduction .The Phage lysate from bacterial cell is collected and use to infect second strain of bacteria that are His- Ara- Met- Leu- Cys- Lys- . Different transducing phages are selected on using different minimal media and their presence of growth (+) and absence of growth (-) given in table

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

An Hfr strain with genotype A B C D (each gene for amino acid synthesis )and that transfers the A gene very late was mated with recipient strain with genotype a b c d. After mating for several hours, the mixture was diluted and plated on minimal media with four different supplements having various number of colony

Media supplement with amino acid  

                 Colony                                          number

                  A+C                                                 500

                  C+D                                                  50

                     B                                                    10

                     A                                                   250
