Bacteria is one of the important microorganisms present on the earth. Bacteria are single-celled organism and serves many useful purposes. They help to support many for of life such as animals and plants.Answer and Explanation: Bacterial transformation is a process by which bacteria take the ...
What is bacterial transformation? What is aseptic technique, and why is it so important in microbiology? What type of bacteria causes most of the sickness in humans? What bacteria are most likely to be transmitted by a sneeze? What are the industrial processes that use bacteria?
Transformation is the uptake of foreign DNA from the environment, such as plasmid DNA, typically by bacterial cells. Plasmid transformation is the transfer of plasmid DNA between organisms. Naturally occurring plasmids often confer benefits to the bacterial host, such as antibiotic-resistance or virulen...
After binary fission or budding, the DNA found in parents and offspring is exactly the same. Therefore, bacterial cells introduce variation into their genetic material by integrating additional DNA, often from their surroundings, into their genome. This is known as horizontal gene transfer, according...
A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) is one of a class of tools, called vectors, that microbiologists use to insert genes into a bacterium— usually e coli. Inserting genes alters the properties of the bacterium in a process called transformation. A scientist can alter a strain of bacteria...
Soil is the most heavily habituated place where they constitute about 0.5% W/W of the soil mass. One gram of topsoil may contain as many as one billion bacterial cells. It is estimated that there are approximately 2×1030bacteria on the Earth, but only around 2% of them are fully studied...
It is hard to find a research paper or book on coccolithophores that does not include a few sentences on the role of this fascinating and enigmatic marine phytoplankton group in the production of dimethyl sulfide ((CH3)2S; DMS). Our aim here is to provid
The unique composition of the bacterial communities in breast milk being different from bacteria from other body parts ,makes it less likely that they were translocated from gut or oral cavity, suggesting either bacteremia or transformation from organic matter as the possible pathways of origin. The...
