- Let’s suppose you make a transposon library of the cellulose-secreting bacterium Komagataeibacter xylinus, with the goal of finding mutants that produce higher than normal amounts of cellulose, which would be useful industrially. However, despite your best efforts you are unable to isolate any transposon mutants that make more cellulose than the wild-type strain.Why might this have failed? List as many reasons as you can think of.arrow_forwardWhat is the simplest explanation for why patients have been identified with only one copy of the phosphofructokinase-1 gene (heterozygous), but no patients have been identified that lack both copies of the phosphofructokinase-1 gene (homozygous)? Patients lacking both copies of the phosphofructokinase-1 genes will be found once DNA sequencing technology can sequence whole genomes. Phosphofructokinase-1 is needed for nitrogen metabolism and there are no enzymes to replace this function, so cells die from ammonia toxicity. Phosphofructokinase-1 is a required enzyme for carbohydrate metabolism in all living cells, complete loss of this enzyme would be lethal. There are 6 phosphofructokinase-1 paralogous genes in humans and it is impossible to lack both type 1 copies when there are also types 4, 5, and 6.arrow_forwardWhat different between the generated amplification product and the primer sequences in the CDS sequence?arrow_forward
