Positive Selection
Positive selection entails growing the culture on
a medium that will allow for the growth of only
the mutant colonies.
If, for example, we want to find mutants that
resistant to penicillin, we grow the culture on a
medium that contains penicillin. Only those
colonies that are resistant to penicillin will grow
and we can identify them directly.

Negative Selection:
Negative selection is used to identify mutants that have lost the ability to perform a certain function that their parents had. Auxotrophic mutants, for example, are bacteria that have lost
the ability to synthesize an essential nutrient.
The replica-plating technique is used to identify mutants by negative selection. the replica-plating technique can be used, for example, to
identify mutants that have lost the ability to synthesize the amino acid histidine. Therefore, mutants are His- and require histidine in order to survive. Inoculate a histidine enriched medium with bacteria. Incubate so that
cells can form colonies. This is the master plate.
Press a sterile velvet surface into the colonies of the master plate. Some cells from each of the colonies adhere to the velvet.
Prepare two mediums, one with histidine, the other without histidine.
Transfer cells from the velvet to each plate.
Compare growth on the two plates after incubation. Colonies that grow on the histidine enriched medium but not on the medium lacking histidine are His- mutants

Ames test
The Ames Test utilizes a histidine auxotroph
of Salmonella to determine if a chemical agent is
a mutagen. Though some spontaneous back
mutations (a reversion back to the strain
of Salmonella that can synthesize histadine) can
occur, if many colonies of the microbe appear on
the minimal plate after the addition of the test
chemical, this is an indication the the chemical is
a mutagen.
