Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the movement of genetic material between unicellular or multicellular organisms. Other method of gene transfer is vertical gene transfer that takes place from parent to offspring. HGT is important in the evolution of many organisms. HGT is also the primary mechanism for the transfer of antibiotic resistance in bacteria.

Please answer the following questions using numbers and not text. For example, if you think the answer is 24, write 24 and not twenty-four. If you think the answer is 24 ATP, write only the number 24.
As a microbiology technician, your job is to characterize a novel bacterial strain isolated from insects. Phenotypically, you have discovered that the new bacterial strain can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen. After genome sequencing and biochemical characterization, you know that your new organism is capable of making all of the enzymes necessary for glycolysis and the TCA cycle, and that it has an electron transport chain.
Answer the following questions based on the growth of your organism on minimal media plates containing only acetate as a carbon and energy source. Acetate is transported across the membrane at the cost of 3 ATP per molecule.
Each question should be answered based on the metabolism of one molecule of acetate. If you come up with a negative value, indicate an…
True or False and Explain answer. Bacteria that make a specific restriction nuclease for defense against viruses have evolved in such a way that their own genome does not contain the recognition sequence for that nuclease.
will be focusing on genetics as a whole, but also differentiating some specifics for bacterial genetics. The area where I want you to focus for this discussion is on a gene in a microorganism that provides a characteristic you find interesting. However, I want it to be a gene that is beneficial for the microbial cell, but allows for a negative impact related to the human. For example, some strains of Staphylococcus aureus have a gene, mecA, that makes them resistant to the antibiotic methicillin. They are commonly called methicillin-resistant S. aureus or MRSA. The gene is beneficial to the bacteria because it allows for their survival even in the presence of this antibiotic but is negative for humans because it limits what antibiotics can be used for treatment. There are a large range of options here including microbe structures as well as the production of various substances so don’t limit your search.
