Approximately how many genes are necessary for amicrobial cell to have a free-living existence?
Describe the four phases of bacterial cell division. Where would horizontal gene transfer occur? Where would sporogenesis occur? If antibiotics generally target cells which are growing and dividing as fast as they can, when would antibiotics be most effective? If a culture had 4 cells to begin with and has a generation time of 60 minutes, how long would it take to get 1,048,576 cells?
If the recipient cell did not already have a lys− gene, could the lys+ DNA become incorporated into the bacterial chromosome? Explain.
