Question:

It has been proposed that thiogalactoside transacetylase (LacA in the lactose operon) plays a role in detoxification-ridding the cell of potentially toxic β-galactosides by acetylating them to inhibit their reuptake after their diffusion out of the cell. How might you test this proposal?
