Refer to the bacterial growth data above presented in the workshop.

Using only the following terms, fill in the blanks (you can copy and paste the terms between commas):

acetate, acetate utilisation,  arginine, arginine utilisation, glucose, glucose utilisation,  glycerol, glycerol utilisation, histidine, histidine utilisation, destruction, no growth, robust growth, partial growth, DNA repair, carbon utilisation, nitrogen utilisation, gain no new information, determine a redundancy in function, observe that together they are essential genes

NOTE: not all the above terms are required, some may be used more than once and all terms must be spelled correctly (excluding the commas) to be marked as correct.

When gene C is deleted we observe no growth when is the sole source in the media, with partial growth when exposed to only as a source in the media. When the gene C mutant is exposed to only glycerol as a carbon source we observe of the cells. The function of gene E appears to be related to . When observing the phenotype of the gene D mutant, it appears to be essential for .

From the result of the A&B double mutant across the growth conditions compared to the single mutants, we can .

From the result of the B&C double mutant across the growth conditions compared to the single mutants, we can .
