Genetic Recombination

Recombination is crucial to this process because it allows genes to be reassorted into diverse combinations. Genetic recombination is the process of combining genetic components from two different origins into a single unit. In prokaryotes, genetic recombination takes place by the unilateral transfer of deoxyribonucleic acid. It includes transduction, transformation, and conjugation. The genetic exchange occurring between homologous deoxyribonucleic acid sequences (DNA) from two different sources is termed general recombination. For this to happen, an identical sequence of the two recombining molecules is required. The process of genetic exchange which occurs in eukaryotes during sexual reproduction such as meiosis is an example of this type of genetic recombination.

Microbial Genetics

Genes are the functional units of heredity. They transfer characteristic information from parents to the offspring.

In a nutrient medium that lacks histidine, a thin layer of agar containing ~109 Salmonella typhimurium histidine auxotrophs (mutant cells that require histidine to survive) produces ~13 colonies over a two-day incubation period at 37 °C. How do these colonies arise in the absence of histidine? The experiment is repeated in the presence of 0.4 μg of 2-aminoanthracene. The number of colonies produced over two days exceeds 10,000.What does this indicate about 2-aminoanthracene? What can you surmise about its carcinogenicity?

Type S Streptococcus pneumoniae bacterium is lethal and will kill its host. If heat inactivated the S strain dies and becomes nonlethal. Type R Streptococcus pneumoniae is a nonvirulent strain of bacteria. What would occur if one were to inject both the R strain and heat-killed S strains into a host organism such as the mouse? The R strain would be transformed into the virulent S strain and kill the host. Neither the S nor the R strain would change. The R strain would be transformed into the virulent S strain and not affect the host. The S strain would be transformed into the nonvirulent R strain and not affect the host The S strain would be transformed into the nonvirulent R strain and kill the host.
Compare the lysis for bacteria to that for CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cells. Note, CHO cells are commonly used for production of therapeutics. How resistant are CHO cells compared to the bacterial cells? If the same level of disruption is expected for CHO cells and the homogenizer is operated at the same pressure for both types of cells, would you expect CHO cells to require more or less number of passes compared to E.coli or Bacillis brevis cells?
