An Introduction to Microbial Genetics
![Page 3: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Bacteria Reproduce Asexually via
BINARY FISSION
Can this generate genetic
diversity?!?
![Page 4: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
But, Bacteria still undergo GENETIC RECOMBINATION (combining DNA from two
individuals into the genome of a single individual)
![Page 5: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Genetic Recombination in bacteria occurs through three distinct processes:
1. TRANSFORMATION
2. TRANSDUCTION
3. CONJUGATION
![Page 6: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1.TRANSFORMATION-Def: The uptake of naked, foreign DNA
from the surrounding environment.• The foreign DNA may be incorporated into
the bacterial chromosome.• Some bacterial cells have specialized surface
proteins for the uptake of DNA.
![Page 7: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
General notes about PLASMIDS…
•Plasmids are small, circular, self-replicating DNA molecules separate from the bacterial chromosomes.•Some plasmids, like the F plasmids, can reversibly incorporate into the cell’s chromosome (an episome).
![Page 8: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2. TRANSDUCTION
•Generalized Transduction occurs when the phage accidentally transfers random
bacterial genes instead of its own.•Specialized Transduction occurs when the
phage takes a small adjacent region of the bacterial DNA with it.
Def: Phage (bacterial viruses)
carry bacterial genes from one
host cell to another.

3. CONJUGATION
•Transfer is one-way, with the DNA donor (or “male”) attaching to the DNA recipient (“female”) with a sex pilus.•The ability to form sex pili and donate DNA results from the presence of an F factor.
Def: The direct transfer of genetic material between two bacterial cells
that are temporarily joined.
![Page 11: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
![Page 12: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
R PLASMIDSR plasmids contain genes conferring
resistance to antibiotics.
R plasmids, like F plasmids, have
genes that encode sex pili
and enable transfer from one cell to
another.Many R plasmids carry multiple
antibiotic resistance genes.
![Page 13: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
R Plasmids acquire multiple resistance genes through TRANSPOSONs.
Transposon: a piece of DNA that can move from one location to another in a cell’s genome.
Transposase catalyzes the movement of the transposon from one location to another
![Page 14: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Composite Transposons include extra genes sandwiched between two insertion sequences.
Composite transposons can add a gene conferring antibiotic resistance to a plasmid already carrying genes for resistance. In an environment high in antibiotics, natural selection will favor multi-drug
resistant bacterial clones.
![Page 15: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Gene Regulation:
Individual bacteria cope
with environmental fluctuation at several
levels:
![Page 16: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Regulation of Gene Expression occurs through OPERONS.
OPERONS utilize a segment of DNA called an OPERATOR. The operator controls the access
of RNA polymerase to the genes.
![Page 17: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
OPERATORS function as switches to turn transcription ON or OFF.
Operators are ON unless a specific REPRESSOR PROTEIN is bound to it.
![Page 18: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
This operon, the trp operon is an example of a REPRESSIBLE OPERON because
transcription is INHIBITED when tryptophan binds to the regulatory protein.
INDUCIBLE OPERONs are STIMULATED when a specific small molecule interacts
with a regulatory protein.Examples of Inducible Operons:
•the lac operon
•the ara operon
![Page 19: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
INDUCIBLE OPERONS: The lac Operon
![Page 20: Remember: Final Draft of Posters Due at 10 am on Thursday!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568167f8550346895ddd75f5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The lac OPERON is also positively regulated by cyclic AMP (cAMP) and the regulatory protein, cAMP receptor protein (CRP).
Activated CRP stimulates transcription.
