Practical Implacability of Mutants: 4 Examples

The following points highlight the top four examples to substantiate the practical implacability of microbial mutants. 1. Induced mutants have been used extensively in the investigation of various biochemical processes, particularly metabolic reactions. Metabolic processes occur via sequences of enzyme-catalyzed reactions and by developing mutants in which the genes coding for enzymes are mutated (altered), the sequence of steps in [...]

Selection of Different Types of Mutants

In this article we will discuss about selection of different types of mutants:- 1. Resistant Mutants 2. Regulation-Defective Mutants 3. Auxotrophic Mutants. 1. Resistant Mutants: From a wild-type bacterial population which is susceptible to agents like bacteriophage, various drugs, ultra-violet light etc., mutants which are resistant to any of these agents can be selected directly by using selective media. After [...]
