Yоu plаte оut а liquid culture оf E. coli on TSA contаining the antibiotic streptomycin, incubate for 24 hours, and observe a single colony. From this you obtain a pure culture of streptomycin resistant E. coli, which you propagate on TSA with streptomycin in the following weeks. You then inoculate your culture onto TSA without streptomycin and continue propagating it over the coming months on TSA lacking the antibiotic. Months later, you discover your E. coli strain is no longer resistant to streptomycin. Please explain this result fully in paragraph form, a minimum of 4-5 sentences. What is a streptomycin resistant mutant, and why was your original colony resistant to streptomycin? Why, months later, did you end up with a culture that was not resistant to the antibiotic?
Optiоnаl up tо 2 pоints of extrа credit: Shown is the meаn EMQ (Everyday Memory Questionnaire, a test designed to measure memory failure in everyday life) score out to three years comparing SARS-CoV-2 infected vs. uninfected individuals from a study of 111,992 individuals (Prospective Memory Assessment before and after Covid-19, N Engl J Med 2024; 390:863-865). Figure 1. Mean scores on EMQ comparing SARS-CoV-2 infected vs. uninfected individuals; higher scores indicate worse memory problems. 1. Interpret this graph. What does this graph suggest about infection with SARS-CoV-2? Please explain. Include information and descriptions from the graph to support your explanation. 2. Comparing the trendlines on the left side of the graph to the right side of the graph, what does the trend toward the right side of the graph suggest? Please hypothesize; be sure to include an explanation with supporting information. 3. Comment briefly on the sample size of this study - should this sample size give us confidence in this work? Why or why not? 4. Although the graph does not explain this, propose an explanation as to what the virus might be doing to people that could result in this outcome observed.
