7 Lysogeny and Transduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lysogeny and transduction describe a type of phage/host interaction and a method of bacterial gene transfer (procaryotic sex), respectively. Although they are often reviewed together, these topics are linked only in that one type of transduction (specialized) has an obligate requirement for a lysogenic interaction. In this chapter we describe the background for understanding both of these processes, and give methods that we have found useful in studying lysogeny and transduction in the marine environment.

lysogeny, transduction, radiation effects, genetic expression, and comparative aspects. Stent's real purpose in writing the book is probably revealed in a statement at the end of the seventh chapter in which he states that it has fallen to the students of the bacteriophage to bridge the gap between chemistry and genetics-hence the term "molecular genetics" and, no doubt, the title of his text. ...
متن کاملNucleic Acid Synthesis in the Neoplastic Cell and Impact of Nuclear Changes on the Biochemistry of Tumor Tissue: A Review
INTRODUCTION The spectacular progress in nucleic acid chem istry, bacterial genetics, and viral biology has stimulated renewed efforts at an integration of the two major theories of carcinogenesis—the somatic mutation theory, and the viral theory. Four converging lines of investigation have pro vided the basis for such an integration: (a) The evidence that nucleic acids constitute the probabl...
متن کاملAbsence of lysogeny in wild populations of Erwinia amylovora and Pantoea agglomerans
Lytic bacteriophages are in development as biological control agents for the prevention of fire blight disease caused by Erwinia amylovora. Temperate phages should be excluded as biologicals since lysogeny produces the dual risks of host resistance to phage attack and the transduction of virulence determinants between bacteria. The extent of lysogeny was estimated in wild populations of E. amyl...

متن کاملBuilding a cellular switch: more lessons from a good egg.
Xenopus oocytes mature in response to the steroid hormone progesterone. At the level of a population of oocytes, the response is graded-the higher the concentration of progesterone, the larger the fraction of oocytes that will mature-but at the level of the individual oocyte, the response is all-or-none. The all-or-none character of this cell fate switch is hypothesized to arise out of two prop...
