Chapter 5.5, Problem 3RIA
Summary Introduction
Ribosomes are large complex molecular structure composed of RNA and protein molecules. They are present in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes and they are mainly involved in the synthesis of protein. Eukaryotic ribosomes can be either attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or found free in the cytoplasm. Both ER-bound ribosomes and free ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis.

She manages to isolate and identify around 80 differentbacterial species from the various mangrove sites. She preserves the isolates by growingthem on a tryptic soy agar supplemented with sea salt and re-streaks them every week. After8 months she notices that some of the isolates have changed their genetic sequence whencompared to the initially identified sequence.
