- Price et al. (1999. J. Bacteriol. 181: 2358–2362) conducted a genetic study of the toxin transport protein (PA) of Bacillus anthracis, the bacterium that causes anthrax in humans. Within the 2294-nucleotide gene in 26 strains they identified five point mutations—two missense and three synonyms—among different isolates. Necropsy samples from an anthrax outbreak in 1979 revealed a novel missense mutation and five unique nucleotide changes among ten victims. The authors concluded that these data indicate little or no horizontal transfer between different B. anthracis strains. (a) Which types of nucleotide changes (missense or synonyms) cause amino acid changes? (b) What is meant by horizontal transfer? (c) On what basis did the authors conclude that evidence of horizontal transfer is absent from their data?Genome for C. diphtheriae have about 2,500,000 nucleotides, 87% of them are coding. This ingle circular chromosome contains 2,389 genes from which 2,272 proteins are coded. It does not contain any plasmids. The genome contains Pathogenicity Islands (PAIs), which C. diphtheriae has 13. What is a PAI and what are their characteristics?Bacterial conjugation has medical consequences. For example, certain plasmids contain genes that code for toxins. The causative agent of a deadly form of food poisoning, E. coli 0157, synthesizes a toxin that causes massive bloody diarrhea and kidney failure. This toxin is now believed to have originated in Shigella, another bacterium that causes dysentery. Similarly, the growing problem of antibiotic resistance is partly attributable to the spread of antibioticresistant genes among bacterial populations. Antibiotic resistance develops because antibiotics are overused in medical practice and in livestock feeds. Suggest a mechanism by which this extensive use promotes antibiotic resistance.

Question: What is meant by ”horizontal transfer”?DNA sequencing of the entire H. influenzae genomewas completed in 1995. When DNA from the nonpathogenic strain H. influenzae Rd was compared tothat of the pathogenic b strain, eight genes of the fimbrial gene cluster (located between the purE andpepN genes) involved in adhesion of bacteria to hostcells were completely missing from the nonpathogenic strain. What effect would this deletion have oncotransformation of purE and pepN genes using DNAisolated from the nonpathogenic versus the pathogenic strain?Why is the resulting disease - COVID 19 - cause respiratory distress and/ or intestinal distress?

It has been observed that some strains of this new bacterial species are resistant to multiple antibiotics used in clinical settings. Thanks to your bacterial genetic prowess, you are hired as part of a research team whose mission is to characterize this new species. It appears that at least three different antibiotic resistance genes have integrated onto the bacterial chromosome: min+ = confers resistance to minocycline cep+ = confers resistance to cephalexin van+ = confers resistance to vancomycin The following table shows the results of your experiments. Transformation of the recipient cells was conducted, using the DNA of the donor cells. You next selected for recipient cells that had undergone transformation by plating the transformed cells on media containing minocycline. This enabled you to select for min+ cells. The min+ cells were then replica plated onto media…
