become resistant. “Gene transfer must be integral and critical to the overall survival of bacteria‚ providing a way for them to adapt to difficult conditions” (Levy 2002‚ 83). Horizontal gene transfer can occur through conjugation‚ transposition‚ transduction‚ and transformation. These forms of horizontal gene transfer have led to several ways for antibiotic resistant genes to be obtained. The acquiring of these resistant genes allow bacteria to stop the function of antibiotics. Conjugation is a physical

Chapter 18 The Genetics of Viruses and Bacteria Lecture Outline Overview: Microbial Model Systems Viruses and bacteria are the simplest biological systems—microbial models in which scientists find life’s fundamental molecular mechanisms in their most basic‚ accessible forms. Molecular biology was born in the laboratories of microbiologists studying viruses and bacteria. Microbes such as E. coli and its viruses are called model systems because of their use in studies that reveal broad biological

alive because it does not need a living cell to thrive. Bacterial cells utilize binary fission followed by replication of the bacterial chromosome. Bacteria can grow on non-living surfaces and resides in between cells‚ instead of inside a living cell‚ the only place amicable for viruses. They transfer genes from various cells by transformation‚ transduction‚ or conjugation. Small circular DNA molecules called plasmids‚ carry the bacterial chromosome during gene transfers. Strep throat is a common

Aerobic respiration is a characteristic of eukaryotic cells‚ even though prokaryotic cells can use aerobic respiration as well. Helps produce allot of ATP. Example: Kreb’s Cycle. Anaerobic: Doesn’t require oxygen to survive and perform life functions. (Anaerobe-Organisms that don’t require oxygen to live)

Bacterial Evolution Outline Evolution is defined as the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth. The theory generates from Darwin’s Theory Of Evolution. Darwin’s Theory Of Evolution describes a process in which all life is related and has came from a common ancestor. More complex creatures evolve from less complex or simple ancestors over time due to genetic mutations that are deemed beneficial

expansion are a primary response to miR-34 deletion or a response to bacterial invasion from a compromised intestinal epithelial barrier? As in miR-34 ko mice‚ only expanded paneth cell was found‚ but not bacterial. Paneth cell increasing should be the primary response to miR-34 deletion. Further study may analyze the inducible miR-34 ko APCmin mice‚ at multiple time points after induced deletion. Check the paneth cell and bacterial status‚ and the expression level of involved

Chapter 5 – Short answer a) Phosphorylation - the addition of phosphate to a chemical compound b) What are the 3 mechanisms of phosphorylation used by organisms? • Substrate level phosphorylation – ATP is generated when a high-energy phosphate is directly transferred from a phosphorylated compound (substrate) to ADP • Oxidative phosphorylation – electrons are transferred from a group of organic compounds to a group of electron carriers (NAD+ and FAD); occurs in inner mitochondrial
