B) combining microbes with complementing auxotrophs in a single tube and then analyzing the cells of gene exchange.
C) placing a barrier between bacterial strains with complementing auxotrophs to assess whether contact between cells was required for genetic exchange.
D) using fungi to feed bacterial strains with unusual auxotrophic mutations.
E) Davis was not a significant contributor to this research question.
