7. Superhelical Density Bacteriophage A infects E. coli by integrating its DNA into the bacterial chromosome. The suc- cess of this recombination depends on the topology of the E. coli DNA. When the superhelical density (ơ) of the E. coli DNA is greater than -0.045, the probability of integration is <20%; when o is less than -0.06, the probability is –70%. | Plasmid DNA isolated from an E. coli culture is found to have a length of 13,800 bp and an Lk of 1,222. Calculate o for this DNA and predict the likelihood that bacteriophage A will be able to infect this culture.
