Bacte Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

This is a summary I made while following the Bacterial Pathogenesis course. In the document, I have also included a summary of the pre-requisite knowledge videos/papers they provided to follow the course.

Comprehensive lecture notes for the Bacterial/Microbial evolutionary genetics module covered in MCB3023S. These notes cover all content taught in lectures as well as additional materials (powerpoints, textbooks) required to succeed. These notes were created by a student who achieved a distinction in this course.

Bacterial Transformation Lab Report Title: Bacterial transformation lab Objective(s): The length of the time for which the heat shock is given greatly affects the process of transformation or the uptake of the plasmid by the bacterial cell. Hypothesis: As the length of the time of the heat shock increases there are greater chances of the process of transformation or the uptake of the plasmid by the bacterial cell. As the time period of heat shock increases, the bacterial cell membrane deve...

Why are bacteria an excellent tool for genetic research? -Grow extremely quickly -Very easy to isolate one species or strain of bacteria, typically through the selection of antibiotic-resistant strains -Bacteria can be grown in almost any laboratory, typically with little risk, and their source of nourishment is extremely inexpensive 2. Spontaneous mutation Refers to the process by which bacteria undergo random mutations, some of which may be advantageous to survival in an otherwise h...

transduction Correct Answer The mechanism of DNA transfer in bacteria where DNA is transferred by phages (bacterial virus) nicks at specific origin, outer strand peels off and goes through pillis to F- cell while being resynthesized in F+ Correct Answer What is the process of conjugation? F- cells (replicate the F plasmid so the F- cell has one too) Correct Answer For conjugation, what do F+ cells look for? 0.13 to 14 million bp, e coli has 4.6 million bp Correct Answer What is the ...
