c) In a double or multiple slit experiment, you almost always see dark smudges on either side of the center. Why is that? What are the dark smudgs from?

You have just isolated a new strain of Gram negative bacteria that can catabolize the sugar aspartame. Genome comparisons to all other strains don't provide any insight into the identity of this pathway. 1) Describe an experiment to identify the pathway coding for aspartame catabolism 2) Describe an experiment to move this pathway into E. coli 3) Given what we learned in class, describe how this pathway is likely repressed and where operator sequence would be 4) Describe an experiment to phenotypically confirm how this pathway is regulated using a SELECTION involving styrene catabolism 5) Describe an experiment to phenotypically confirm how this pathway is regulated using a SCREEN involving light production
