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.
Shows an autoradiograph of a replicating bacterial chromosome. If you analyzed many replicating chromosomes, what types of information could you learn about the mechanism of
An autoradiograph is a picture where an image of an object is obtained on the X-ray film. the object or substance with nuclear emission produces a particular pattern on the X-ray film which can be used for various purposes. for example, if a bacteria is grown in media labeled with radioactive carbon or nitrogen then the bacterial DNA replication autograph can be obtained on X-ray film.
