  1. Microbial Genetics • Mutation • Genetic Recombination • Model organism • E. coli • Molecular Cloning • Bioinformatics “Golden” Rice

  2. Plasmid Types • Resistance Plasmids – R Plasmids • Virulence Plasmids • Bacteriocins • Engineered Plasmids

  3. Mutants • Mutation • Wild Type • Genotype • Phenotype

  4. Isolation of Mutants • Replica Plating • Auxotrophs – Nutritional Mutants • Prototroph – Wild Type

  5. Penicillin Selection Method – Kills Growing Cells

  6. Mutations • Spontaneous Mutations • Point Mutations • Base-Pair Substitution • Silent, • Missense, or • Nonsense Mutations

  7. Conditional Lethal Mutations • Temperature Sensitive Mutations Incubation Temperature 30 C 40 C

  8. Reading Frame Frame Shift Mutation

  9. Reversion Mutation Prototroph Auxotroph Back Mutation • Back • Mutation • Suppressor • Mutation Mutation Back Mutation Normal Protein

  10. Other Mutations • Deletions – Lose of a Piece of DNA • Insertions – Additions of a Piece of DNA • Translocation – Movement of a Piece of DNA to a New Location in the Genome

  11. Inversion Orientation of a Piece of DNA is Reversed in the Genome - Phase Variation

  12. Mutation Rate • Spontaneous (Natural or Background) Mutation Rate • DNA ~ 1 per Million (varies between genes and location) • RNA ~ 1 per Thousand • Mutagens – Anything that Increases the Mutation Rate

  13. Mutagens • Chemicals • Base Analogs – Chemically Resemble Base

  14. Intercalating Agent • Inserts Between Base Pairs

  15. Radiation • UV Light • Ionizing Radiation • DNA Repair • SOS Regulatory System

  16. Biological Mutagens • Transposons – Can Insert Into Gene • Transposon Mutagenesis • Site Directed Mutations – Man-made

  17. Ames Test • Mutagens  Carcinogens • Ames Test Measures Back Mutation Rates to Detect Carcinogens • Liver extract

  18. Bacterial Gene Transfer • Genetic Recombination • 3 Types of Bacterial Gene Exchange: • 1. Transformation • “Naked DNA” • Competent

  19. Transfection in Eukaryotes • Particle (Gene) Guns Insert DNA • Electroporation

  20. 2. Transduction • Generalized Transduction

  21. Specialized Transduction

  22. Lysogeny Can Lead to Phage Conversion

  23. 3. Conjugation • Plasmids • Copy Number • Incompatibility • Curing • Conjugative Plasmid

  24. Chromosomal Mobilization Fertility (F) Plasmid Episome HFr Strain Sex Pili

  25. Gene Maps • Interrupted Matings

  26. E. coli Chromosome • 4,639,221 Base Pairs • 4,288 Open Reading Frames • 88% ORF • 1% rRNA, tRNA • 10% Promoter, Origin, etc • 6% Operons

  27. Lateral Gene Transfer • Horizontal Gene transfer • Pathogenicity Islands • ICE – Integrative and Conjugative Elements

  28. Transposition • Transposase • Conservative Transposition • Replicative Transposition • Phase Variation • Inversion

  29. Genomics • Mycoplasma genitalium Genome • 470 Open Reading Frame • Genomic Mining
