Conjugation involves the transfer of genetic information by direct cell-to-cell contact. ... This study of conjugation involved the use of E. ... Each strain was combined to observe conjugation. ... However, the growth of red colonies in nalidixic acid indicates that conjugation occurred. The AK400 donor strain is able to transfer its metabolic plasmid through conjugation to the AK403 which possesses nalidixic acid resistance resulting in bacteria expressing both traits. There are three forms of conjugation. ... HFR conjugation does not involve full plasmid transfer while the others do. ... Since the experiment had an F¡¯ plasmid, it is most likely that the mechanism involved was F¡¯ x F- conjugation.
