Antibiotic X binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of 70S ribosomes and blocks normal ribosomal function. Which of the following is true of this drug? It would interfere with protein synthesis in bacteria, but not affect eukaryotic ribosomes. It would interfere with peptidoglycan syntheis/repair in bacteria, but not affect eukaryotes as they lack peptidoglycan. It would interfere with mRNA transcription in bacteria and in eukaryotes. It would interfere with protein synthesis in bacteria and eukaryotes. It would interfere with mRNA transcription in bacteria, but not affect eukaryotic transcription. It would interfere with peptidoglycan syntheis/repair in bacteria, as well as in eukaryotes that possess cell walls.
Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.
