Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understanding of bacterial genetics has progressed as the genomics field has advanced. Genetics and genomics complement and influence each other; they are inseparable. Under the novel insights from genetics and genomics, once-believed borders in biology start to fade: biological knowledge of the bacterial world is being viewed under a new light and concepts are being redefined. Species are difficult to delimit and relationships within and between groups of bacteria – the whole concept of a tree of life – is hotly debated when dealing with bacteria. The DNA within bacterial cells contains a variety of features and signals that influence the diversity of the microbial world. This text assumes readers have some knowledge of genetics and microbiology but acknowledges that it can be varied. Therefore, the book includes all of the information that readers need to know in order to understand the more advanced material in the book.

Book excerpt: "Understanding of bacterial genetics and genomics is fundamental to understanding bacteria and higher organisms, as well. Novel insights in the fields of genetics and genomics are challenging the once clear borders between the characteristics of bacteria and other life. Biological knowledge of the bacterial world is being viewed under a new light with input from genetic and genomics. Replication of bacterial circular and linear chromosomes, coupled (and uncoupled) transcription and translation, multiprotein systems that enhance survival, wide varieties of ways to control gene and protein expression, and a range of other features influence the diversity of the microbial world. This text acknowledges that readers have varied knowledge of genetics and microbiology. Therefore, information is presented progressively, to enable all readers to understand the more advanced material in the book. This second edition of Bacterial Genetics and Genomics updates the information from the first edition with advances made over the past five years. This includes descriptions for 10 types of secretion systems, bacteria that can be seen with the naked eye, and differences between coupled transcription-translation and the uncoupled runaway transcription in bacteria. Topic updates include advances in bacteriophage therapy, biotechnology, and understanding bacterial evolution"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described as the earliest, simplest life forms, with unlimited metabolic versatility, bacteria are ideally suited to answer some very fundamental questions on life and its processes. They have been employed in almost all fields of biological studies, including Genetics. The whole edifice of science of Genetics centers around three processes: the generation, expression, and transmission of biological variation, and bacteria offer immediate advantages in studying all the three aspects of heredity. Being haploid and structurally simple, it becomes easy to isolate mutations of various kinds and relate them to a function. The availability of such mutants and their detailed genetic and biochemical analyses lead to a gamut of information on gene expression and its regulation. While studying the transmission of biological variation, it is clear that unlike their eukaryotic counterpart, a more genetic approach needs to be employed. Transmission of genetic information in most eukaryotic organisms rests on sexual reproduction that allows the generation of genetically variable offspring through the process of gene recombination. Even though bacteria show an apparent preference for asexual reproduction, they too have evolved mechanisms to trade their genetic material. In fact, bacteria not only could acquire many genes from close relatives, but also from entirely distant members through the process of horizontal gene transfer. Their success story of long evolutionary existence will stand testimony to these mechanisms. While teaching a course on Microbial Genetics to the post-graduate students at Delhi University, it was realized that a book devoted to bacterial genetics may be very handy to the students, researchers, and teachers alike. A strong foundation in genetics also helps in comprehending more modern concepts of molecular biology and recombinant DNA technology, always a favorite with the students and researchers. Planning the format of the book, emphasis has been laid on the generation and transmission of biological variability. The omission of expression part is indeed intentional because lots of information is available on this aspect in any modern biology book. The contents are spread over seven chapters and the text is supported with figures/tables wherever possible. The endeavor has been to induce the readers to appreciate the strength of bacterial genetics and realize the contribution of these tiny organisms to the growth of biological sciences as a whole and genetics in particular.

Download or read book The Science and Applications of Microbial Genomics written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several decades, new scientific tools and approaches for detecting microbial species have dramatically enhanced our appreciation of the diversity and abundance of the microbiota and its dynamic interactions with the environments within which these microorganisms reside. The first bacterial genome was sequenced in 1995 and took more than 13 months of work to complete. Today, a microorganism's entire genome can be sequenced in a few days. Much as our view of the cosmos was forever altered in the 17th century with the invention of the telescope, these genomic technologies, and the observations derived from them, have fundamentally transformed our appreciation of the microbial world around us. On June 12 and 13, 2012, the Institute of Medicine's (IOM's) Forum on Microbial Threats convened a public workshop in Washington, DC, to discuss the scientific tools and approaches being used for detecting and characterizing microbial species, and the roles of microbial genomics and metagenomics to better understand the culturable and unculturable microbial world around us. Through invited presentations and discussions, participants examined the use of microbial genomics to explore the diversity, evolution, and adaptation of microorganisms in a wide variety of environments; the molecular mechanisms of disease emergence and epidemiology; and the ways that genomic technologies are being applied to disease outbreak trace back and microbial surveillance. Points that were emphasized by many participants included the need to develop robust standardized sampling protocols, the importance of having the appropriate metadata, data analysis and data management challenges, and information sharing in real time. The Science and Applications of Microbial Genomics summarizes this workshop.
Download or read book Genetics of Bacteria written by John Scaife and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years there has been a need for an up-to-date advanced textbook on bacterial genetics. Genetics of Bacteria has been designed for this purpose. The text is primarily intended for students who are close to or already engaged in research involving bacteria. An introductory chapter has been included for newcomers to the field. Each chapter has a supplementary reading list and detailed references for the topic in question. The book covers all the major genetic aspects of bacteria, their plasmids, and phages mutation: gene transfer and recombination, the transposition of genetic elements, the mechanism and control of gene expression. Special emphasis is placed on "Escherichia coli." In addition, "Bacillus subtilis" is introduced, a Gram-positive organism which has unique features as a genetic system. For those wishing to study other bacteria a list of helpful references is provided at the end of Chapter One. From the Preface: Bacterial systems have several major roles to play in molecular biology. They contribute to the analysis of fundamental biological processes: mutation, replication, recombination and transposition, and the expression of genes and the processing of their products. In addition, bacteria occupy a pivotal position in recombinant DNA technology, allowing the genetic material of many organisms to be analyzed and expressed. Equally, genetic manipulation in vivo provides an approach in the analysis of genes and their products which complements both classical studies and in vitro cloning techniques. We discuss here the major aspects of manipulation in vivo including genetic fusions and the different kinds of transposable elements. This book should beparticularly valuable to gene cloners in this respect and as an account of the basic biology of the bacteria, phages, and plasmids commonly used in their work. The purpose of this book is to give an up-to-date account of the molecular genetics of bacteria for advanced students and new recruits to research using bacterial systems. To this end each chapter reviews a topic of central importance and provides a list of major references for those active in the field. We have not intended the lists to be exhaustive since we refer the reader to current review articles on specialist topics. For the benefit of new recruits we provide an introductory chapter discussing the basic concepts of bacterial genetics and the organization of phage The material presented is intended to illustrate the underlying principles in the field. It is based on the large body of work which has exploited the gram-negative organism Escherichia coli over the years. In addition, we introduce the gram-positive Bacillus subtilis which has unique features as a genetic system. Those wishing to study other bacteria will find a list of helpful references at the end of Chapter 1.
