used by drug companies to make peptide drugs like insulin

22
Q

part that sticks off plasmid and grabs the other bacteria

23
Q

small piece of DNA that gives bacteria superpowers

24
Q

what does a iron look for?

A

a surface protein that is SPECIES and Cell Specific

25
after a viron finds its surface protein what does it do?
it binds to the cell to gain entry
26
once a viron is inside the cell what does it do?
Sheds its capsid which: 1. exposes its genetic material 2 genetic material is inserted into host DNA - or in some cases RNA in cytoplasm
27
two components of a viron
genetic material capsid (shell)
28
what is present on some viruses to make them much hardier?
Envelope
29
A virus will use our machinery to make the _________ and make copies of______________. This process is called ______________and it happens in the ___________.
viral proteins viral DNA/RNA Assembly and maturation nucleus
30
what happens after assembly and maturation?
Virus takes the host cells plasma membrane and is released (many more)
31
what is a positive aspect of a virus
~5% of out DNA is viruses we have acquired. they can be used for gene therapy
32
filamentus, grow as multinucleate branching hyphae forming mycelium
Molds
33
ringworm
mold
34
grow as ovoid or spherical, are a single cell and multiply by budding division
yeasts
35

Candida Albicans
42
bacteria on skin and lungs is usually
aerobic bacteria
43
need oxygen for oxidative phosphorilation
aerobic bacteria
44
if the don't have o2 they die
aerobic bacteria
45
need some o2 but too much will kill them
microaerobic bacteria
46
microaerobic bacteria is usually found
in the GI tract
47
can use 02 if they have it, but can survive without it
Facultative Anaerobes
48
Cannot tolerate 02, it kills them
Obligate anaerobic bacteria
