MICROBIAL GENETICS

Two types of organism:
Eukaryotes; cells contain membrane-boundcompartments, including a nucleus and organelles.
Eukaryotes include: animals, plants, fungi, and
protozoa. Prokaryotes: Lack internal compartments etensi!ely.
"i!ided into two groups: bacteria and arc#aea.
$enome:T#e entire genetic complement of a li!ing organism.
$ene: % "&% segment containing biological information and
#ence coding for an '&% and ( or polypeptide molecule.

Eukaryotes genomes; "i!ided into two or more linear "&% molecules.
Eac# contained in a different c#romosome. Possess smaller, usually circular, mitoc#ondrial
genomes. T#ird genome located in t#e c#loroplast )in plant and
ot#er p#otosynt#etic organism* + b +, b in lengt#. /ig#er eukaryotes need larger genome to
accommodate t#e etra genes. 0orrelation between genome size and compleity )111*
--- C-value paradox . 2pace is sa!ed in t#e gnomes of less comple
organism because t#e genes are more closely packed
toget#er.

Prokaryotes genomes:
3#ole prokaryotes genomes are smaller t#aneukaryotes.
ost if not all -- are contained in a single "&%
molecules. T#e molecule is circular. /a!e second circular or linear genome, called
PL%24". /a!e fewer genes ore compact genome organization, more gene but
less space. T#ere is &5 4&T'5&2 )some eception is in

nucleotides. ay contain + 8 million nucleotides. % nucleotides consists of a base )purine and

DNA Replication:
T#e transmission of genetic material from parent to

"&% strands. a<or errors in t#is process leading to pre!ent normal

MutationThe alterations in the base sequence of the hereditary
material (DNA)
Spontaneous mutationsOccur in the absence of environment intervention.It is occur in case of:
Purine or yrimidine bases temorarily e!ist in differentelectrochemical forms """""""" misairin#. Insertion sequence. $issmatch durin# relication

How mutations affect the genetics code ? *ilent mutation (has no effect) $issense mutation (chan#e to a different amino acids) Nonsense mutation (chan#e to a sto codon) ,rameshift mutation.
Open reading frame (ORF)-o+ to read the codons sequences.

Con"itional#lethal mutants : ermissive condition

Inhibitor#resistant mutants: able to resist the to!ic effectsof an antibiotic or other tye of inhibitor.
Re$ulator% mutants& has mutation in the romoter or otherre#ulatory sequence. /': constitutive mutants of E. Coli e!ressed #enes all the times.
