Mycorrhizae are associations between fungi and the roots of plants, where the Fungi provides minerals to the plant. It enabled plants and fungi to be the first organisms to invade land successfully 430 million years ago. In most cases the relationship between host plants and the mycorrhizal fungus is mutualistic, or mutually beneficial. The Mycorrhizal fungi come into direct contact with plant roots and with the soil, adding to the plants ability to gather nutrients and water from the soil through the fungus.

To help sort out those bacteria that have the vgp gene, scientists first attempt to grow the bacteria both in a medium with ampi

ella [17]

Bacteria with no plasmid will ONLY grow in medium without ampicillin. This is because bacteria without any plasmid do not have the gene for ampicillin resistance (ampR). Therefore they can only survive and grow in medium without ampicillin.
Bacteria with nonrecombinant plasmid will grow in both media.According to the image, this type of bacteria has the gene for ampicillin resistance (ampR) in their plasmid. Therefore, they are not affected by the presence of ampicillin in their environment and they can grow in both media.
Bacteria with recombinant plasmid but no vgp gene will grow in both media. These bacteria also have the gene for ampicillin resistance in their plasmid, therefore they can survive and grow in both media.
Bacteria with recombinant plasmid with vgp gene will grow in both media. These bacteria, apart from having the vgp gene in their plasmid, they also have the gene for ampicillin resistance. The vgp gene does not affect the expression of the ampR gene, therefore these bacteria are also ampicillin resistant.
