In an analysis of five rII mutants, complementation testing yielded the following results:
How do you interpret Weil-Felix Test?
What are the sources of errors of the Weil-Felix Test?
A fluctuation test was carried out to determine the rate of mutation to Azetidine resistance (a toxic
proline analog) in S. typhimurium. Twenty tubes of rich medium were each inoculated with a few
wild-type cells and the cultures were grown to 10° cells / ml. A 0.1 ml sample of each culture was
then plated on each plate (a total of 20 plates) to detect AztR mutants. The results are shown in the
following table. Calculate the mutation rate of S. typhimurium to AztR.

After transformation, the bacteria werefirst streaked on a medium containing proline, streptomycin, andtetracycline. Colonies were then restreaked on a medium containingstreptomycin and tetracycline. (Note: Each type of medium hadcarbon and nitrogen sources for growth.) The following resultswere obtained:70 colonies grew on the medium containing proline, streptomycin,and tetracycline, but only 2 of these 70 colonies grew whenrestreaked on the medium containing streptomycin and tetracyclinebut lacking proline.
