300833 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Sister Chromatids, Dna Replication, Generation Time
Document Summary
The bacterial cell cycle & the influence of environmental factors on microbial growth. Also each nucleoid and its surrounding cytoplasm becomes enclosed within its own plasma membrane. Two major events in binary fission chromosome replication and partitioning and cytokinesis: two major events in binary fission, chromosome replication: chromosome replication is the first major event of. Before a cell can divide , it must first replicated its dna so that each of the two daughter cells receive a complete copy of dna. Role of the cytoskeleton (mreb and ftsz proteins) in cell division. Role of cytoskeleton: cytoskeleton cells produce cytoskeletal protein called crescentin. This protein locates itself to one side of the cell , where it slows the insertion of new peptidoglycan units into the peptidoglycan saccules. The resulting asymmetric cell wall growth gives rise to the inner curvature that characterises this cell shape. Name and describe the phases of typical bacterial growth in a closed system (batch culture)
