Microbial Genetics — Flashcards

_____ -toxin genes are typically not part of a chromosome, and instead are encoded by plasmids and bacteriophages

When high frequency strains of bacteria undergo _____, they transfer their bacterial genome with the plasmid to the recipient

_____ bacterial DNA transduction occurs when a lytic phage infects the bacterium

Hint: Generalized or Specialized

_____ strains of bacteria will take plasmids and incorporate them into their cellular DNA

_____ bacterial DNA transduction occurs when a lysogenic phage infects the bacterium

Hint: Generalized or Specialized

Which 5 bacterial toxins depend on lysogeny in order to be secreted by their corresponding bacteria?_____Botulinum ToxinCholera ToxinDiphtheria ToxinShiga Toxin

In Transposition of bacterial DNA, a _____ can move to a plasmid, allowing transfer to another bacterium via conjugation

_____ describes a transposon of bacterial DNA that can "jump" from one location to another (ie: bacterial DNA or even a plasmid)

The _____ subunit (sigma factor) enables bacterial RNA polymerase to recognize promoter regions on the DNA

Multidrug resistance is transferred through _____ between cells.
