Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for fluorescence inE.coli in presence of arabinose.
Introduction:
The arabinose is a monosaccharide and E.coli has an arabinose operon. This operon consists of operator, promoter and three structural genes, that are araA, araBandaraDand the regulatory protein is called araC.

- Sydney Brenner isolated Salmonella typhimurium mutants that were implicated in the biosynthesis of tryptophan and would not grow on minimal medium. When these bacterial mutants were tested on minimal medium to which one of four compounds (indole glycerol phosphate, indole, anthranilic acid, and tryptophan) had been added, the growth responses shown in the following table were obtained.
