Description

This examination of the molecular genetic structure of bacteria explores its formation and mutation, cloning and hybridization. The text contains a series of essays on subjects such as gene transfer and various aspects of applied genetics, including strain development and gene cloning.

Table of Contents

  • Nucleic acid structure and function - replication of DNA, gene expression, gene organization, post-translational events
  • methods and terminology - mutation and selection, replica plating, nomenclature, restriction endonucleases and agarose gel electrophoresis, gene cloning, hybridization
  • causes of variation - types of mutation, reversion and suppression, mechanisms of mutation
  • gene transfer - transformation, conjugation, conjugation in other organisms, transduction
  • regulation of gene expression - gene copy number, transcriptional control, translational control
  • genetics of bacteriophages and other viruses - some bacteriophages, restriction and modification, complementation and recombination, control and phage development, lytic and lysogenic regulation of bacteriophage lambda, mechanisms of binding of repressor and Cro proteins to the operator site
  • extrachromosomal inheritance- methods for studying plasmids
  • moveable genes
  • applied genetics - strain development
  • applied genetics - gene cloning.
