1. Select for mal+, the last marker, ensures that all genes transfer. That way you only look at recombination. 2. Replica plate onto both arginine or methionine minus plates..

Reciprocal Crosses
Another way for ordering markers that are close to one another, also takes advantage of the lower frequency of quadruple crossovers. a

If the order is abc, then will get many more a+b+c+ exconjugants from cross I than cross II. If the order is acb, then will get many more a+b+c+ exconjugants from cross II than cross I.

F partial diploid Test for complementation by growing on met- plates. If it grows on met- plates = If no growth = Different genes = complement. Same gene = fail to complement = metA-.

Bacterial Phage
Conclusion: Instead of conjugation, they discovered phagemediated transfer of bacterial genes, or
TRANSDUCTION.
