Transformation
By Joyce Simko, Anita Beebe, Judy
King and Sr. Clare Marie Klein
Overview:
What is Bacterial Transformation?
The transformation of bacteria!
The genetic information of a
bacterial cell actually takes in new
genetic information and makes it a
part of itself! It can then copy that
sequence over and over and over
and over and over and over..
How? Why? Stay tuned!
E. coli
Escherichia coli is the most common bacterium in the
human gut. It has been extensively studied in the
laboratory and is an important research organism
for molecular biology.
E. coli reproduce very rapidly; a single microscopic cell
can divide to form a visible colony with millions of
cells overnight. Like all bacteria, E. coli has no
nuclear envelope surrounding the bacterial
chromosome and thus no true nucleus. All of the
genes required for basic survival and reproduction
are found in the single chromosome.
