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.

Some mutations affect changes in protein structure and function that can result in disease whereas other mutations have no significant effects on protein structure and function. Please explain reasons for the above mentioned statement. Human civilization has resulted in a large number of potentially mutagenic chemicals (e.g. pesticides) and has changed the environment to increase the likelihood of encountering other mutagens, especially UV radiation. What roles should the authorities play in identifying mutagens and regulating their release into the environment?
Genetic transfer via transformation can also be used to map genes along the bacterial chromosome. In this approach, fragments of chromosomal DNA are isolated from one bacterial strain and used to transform another strain. The experimenter examines the transformed bacteria to see if they have incorporated two or more different genes. For example, the DNA may be isolated from a donor E. coli bacterium that has functional copies of the araB and leuD genes. Let’s call these genes araB+ and leuD+ to indicate the genes are functional. These two genes are required for arabinose metabolismand leucine synthesis, respectively. To map the distance betweenthese two genes via transformation, a recipient bacterium is used that is araB− and leuD−. Following transformation, the recipient bacterium may become araB+ and leuD+. This phenomenon is calledcotransformation because two genes from the donor bacterium have been transferred to the recipient via transformation. In this type of experiment, the…
