Yоu hаve trаnsfоrmed а cоmmon laboratory strain of Escherichia coli (which does not naturally grow on sucrose) with the plasmid pCrazy45, whose map is provided in the image below. This map displays all functional components of the complete vector. The transformation mixture (after a 1-hour recovery in LB broth) was subsequently plated onto different agar media. Consider a specific plate consisting of LB medium supplemented with 5% sucrose and no antibiotics. (a) (3 points) What is the biological function of the enzyme encoded by the SacB gene, as shown on the pCrazy45 map? (b) (7 points) Based only on the functional components of the pCrazy45 plasmid map and the composition of the specific selective agar medium, what would be the expected result for any E. coli cells that were successfully transformed and are now carrying this functional plasmid, if they are plated onto the LB sucrose 5% plate? Explain your answer with clear reasoning.
