Various techniques have been developed to isolate strains of bacteria carrying a particular mutation.One of them is,bacteria containing wild-type cells and cells of a desired mutant are grown on a medium lacking the nutrient for which the desired mutants are auxotrophic but containing an antibiotic that only kills growing cells.In this environment,
