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.
Review of the lac operon construction and function
Operon is a gene regulatory structure that contains clusters of genes and these clusters of genes are similar in function and therefore they start with a similar promoter sequence. These genes have a single promoter so that these genes could be transcribed together as they are similar in function and grouping similar genes under a single promoter allows the bacteria to control the expression of similar genes and turn their Operon on and off as required so that the bacteria could adapt.
