LECTURE 9: GENETICS OF BACTERIA & THEIR VIRUSES II • bacterial conjugation (rev) • bacterial transformation • bacteriophage genetics
BACTERIAL CONJUGATION • interrupted-mating • selective markers • donor is strs • recipient is strr • origin of replication transferred first • 1st transferred markers most frequent in exconjugants
BACTERIAL CONJUGATION • bias in recovery of markers • gradient of transfer used fordetermination of gene orderonly
Schaum’s Outlines – Genetics 3rd Ed., CH12, pp. 321 – 325 4th Ed., CH10, pp. 349 – 355
BACTERIAL CONJUGATION • exogenote enters cell ... merozygote = partial diploid • single recombination event (3x, 5x, ...) nonviable • double recombination event (4x, 6x, ...) viable
BACTERIAL CONJUGATION • bias in recovery of markers • gradient of transfer used fordetermination of gene orderonly • to determine map distances, select late marker to ensure transfer of all relevant genes ... high resolution mapping
BACTERIAL CONJUGATION • high-resolution mapping by recombinant frequency
Schaum’s Outlines – Genetics 3rd Ed., CH12, pp. 321 – 325 4th Ed., CH10, pp. 349 – 355
TRANSFORMATION IN BACTERIA • conversion of one genotype to another by uptake of exogenous DNA • transformation principle – demonstrated that DNA was responsible for inherited differences in polysaccharide character of S. pneumoniae (CH8)
TRANSFORMATION IN BACTERIA • extracted DNA (in an experiment) breaks at random • co-transformation of 2 tightly linked donor genes is more likely than 2 distant donor genes • cells must be made competent to enable DNA entry • detergents • electrical fields
TRANSFORMATION IN BACTERIA • dependent on concentration of DNA in the medium
TRANSFORMATION IN BACTERIA • DNA must enter and recombine into the host
TRANSFORMATION IN BACTERIA • practice question, p. 237, #18
BACTERIOPHAGE GENETICS • bacteriophage = eaters of bacteria • T-phages well studied; T-even and T-odd
BACTERIOPHAGE GENETICS • bacteriophage = eaters of bacteria • T-phages well studied; T-even and T-odd
BACTERIOPHAGE GENETICS • lysis = breaking of cell wall and release of phage particles • bacteriophage lytic cycle ...
BACTERIOPHAGE GENETICS • phage plaques on a lawn of bacteria • 1 plaque forming unit PFU = 1 phage particle • plaque morphology • host range
BACTERIOPHAGE GENETICS • phage cross: h– r+x h+ r– • h+infect strain 1 • h–infect strains 1 & 2 • r+ slow lysis, small plaques • r– slow lysis, large plaques
BACTERIOPHAGE GENETICS • lawn of 2 E. coli strains – 1 immune to h+phage
BACTERIOPHAGE GENETICS • phage cross: h– r+x h+ r– • h+clowdy • h–clear • r+ small • r– large • RF = [h+ r++ h– r–] TOTAL
TRANSDUCTION IN BACTERIA • alternative life cycles of temperate bacteriophage
TRANSDUCTION IN BACTERIA • generalized transduction… random incorporation • lytic cycle, non-integrated phage
thr leu azi TRANSDUCTION IN BACTERIA • co-transduction • donor leu+ thr+ azir recipient leu– thr– azis
TRANSDUCTION IN BACTERIA • genetic map of the purB cysB region in E. coli
TRANSDUCTION IN BACTERIA • phage integration
TRANSDUCTION IN BACTERIA • specialized transduction… non- random incorporation • lysogenic cycle, integrated phage
TRANSDUCTION IN BACTERIA • specialized transduction… non- random incorporation • lysogenic cycle, integrated phage
TRANSDUCTION IN BACTERIA • transduction: phage acquire host genes and transfer them to other bacterial cells • generalized transduction: transfers any host gene; and occurs when phage randomly packagehost DNA • specialized transduction: faulty separation of prophage (phage incorporated into host genome); new phage contains adjacent host genes only
GENETIC MAPS IN BACTERIA • E. coli linkage map (minutes)
GENETIC MAPS IN BACTERIA • 5 minutes of the E. coli linkage map
GENETIC MAPS IN BACTERIA • correlated genetic and physical maps in E. coli
BACTERIAL CONJUGATION AND RECOMBINATION MAPPING:PROBLEMS • in Griffiths chapter 5, beginning on page 179, add these questions to those listed at the end of lecture #8… #4, 14, 16-21, 24, 28 (eg. in class)-32 • begin with the solved problems on page 177 if you are having difficulty • look Schaum’s Outline (pp. 358-9) • try Schaum’s Outline questions 10.7 – 10.12
