Sorangium cellulosum is a soil-dwelling Gram-negative bacteria of the group myxobacteria. It is motile and shows gliding motility. It has an unusually-large genome 12,200,000 base pairs in size. A more recent work sequenced the genome of Sorangium cellulosum So ce56 (a specific strain of the bacterium) and put its size at 13,033,779 base pairs making it the largest bacterial genome sequenced to date.
What else can I help you with?
What does the bacterial cell reproduce that the human gene codes for?
the bacterial cell reproduces the bacterial chromosome that the human gene codes for.
How large can a gene potentially be in terms of size?
Genes can vary in size, but the largest known gene in humans is the dystrophin gene, which is about 2.4 million base pairs long.
Why is it that a carrot plant can express a bacterial gene?
Carrot plants can express a bacterial gene if the gene has been successfully incorporated into the plant's genome through genetic modification techniques. This process involves introducing the bacterial gene into the plant cells through methods like genetic engineering or transformation. Once incorporated, the plant's cellular machinery can interpret and express the bacterial gene just like any other gene in its genome.
How can large quantities of protein be produced from a bacterial colony containing the gene of interest?
Large quantities of protein can be produced by expressing the gene of interest in a bacterial colony such as E. coli. This is typically achieved by cloning the gene into a plasmid, transforming the plasmid into the bacterial cells, and inducing protein expression. The bacterial colony can then be grown in a culture medium optimized for protein production to maximize yields.
In the process of human gene cloning using recombinant plasmids what is the bacterial plasmid?
The bacterial plasmid is a small circular DNA molecule that is used as a vector to carry the gene of interest in gene cloning experiments. It is introduced into bacteria, where it replicates independently from the bacterial chromosome. The gene of interest is inserted into the plasmid using restriction enzymes and ligase.
What is bacterial cloning?
Bacterial cloning is a process that involves the replication of a specific DNA fragment or gene of interest within a bacterial host cell. This is typically achieved by inserting the DNA fragment into a bacterial plasmid vector, which is then introduced into the bacterial cell for replication. Bacterial cloning is commonly used in molecular biology research to produce multiple copies of a particular gene or DNA sequence for further study.
Configuration of the GFP inside bacterial cells?
Inside bacterial cells, the green fluorescent protein (GFP) is typically encoded by a gene that can be introduced into the bacterial genome or expressed on a plasmid. The gene consists of coding sequences that allow the production of the GFP protein, which fluoresces green when exposed to specific wavelengths of light. The gene is regulated by bacterial promoters and terminators to control its expression level. The GFP protein is then synthesized within the bacterial cell and can be visualized using fluorescence microscopy or other techniques.
What does the bacterial cell produce in genetic engineering?
Protein that the human gene codes for
What does the bacterial cell produces that the human gene codes for?
I think it's proteins :)
Why can a plant express a bacterial gene that has been added to its genome?
A plant can express a bacterial gene that has been added to its genome because plants have the ability to take up and incorporate foreign DNA into their own genetic material through a process called genetic engineering. This allows the plant to produce the protein encoded by the bacterial gene, which can confer new traits or characteristics to the plant.
The principal problem with inserting an unmodified mammalian gene into the bacterial chromosome and then getting that gene expressed is that?
bacterial and mammalian cells have different genetic codes and regulatory mechanisms, making it difficult for the bacterial cell to properly transcribe and translate the mammalian gene. This can result in the gene not being properly expressed or expressed with errors, leading to potential harmful effects or lack of desired function. Additionally, the post-translational modifications required for mammalian proteins may not occur in bacterial cells.
List these in order from smallest to largest chromosome gene cell?
Smallest to largest: Gene (a place on a chromosome); chromosome (there are 46 in human cells); and DNA (because it accounts for all the genetic material in a cell).
