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.
What do Neutrophils contain?
Neutrophils are the most abundant variety of white blood cells which constitute about 40-70% of the total white blood cell count. During an inflammatory response, the neutrophils are the first cells to migrate to the site of inflammation.
They mature in the bone marrow and emigrate into the bloodstream. The whitish or yellowish appearance of the pus is due to the excessive amounts of neutrophils present in it.
