BIOL 371 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Bactericide, Sigma Factor, Formaldehyde
Document Summary
Explain how the minimum generation time for the bacterium e. coli can be less than the time needed to replicate its chromosome. Contain multiple dna replication forks so new rounds of dna replication begin before the last round is complete. A division apparatus composed of multiple proteins required to form a ring in the exact center of the cell and divide an elongated cell into two. The center of the cell is the area which has the lowest concentration of min proteins (proteins that oscillate from pole to pole of the cell) It is a lipid carrier molecule that transports peptidoglycan precursors across the cytoplasmic membrane by rendering them sufficiently hydrophobic to pass through the membrane. Then bactoprenol interacts with transglycosylases that insert the peptidoglycan precursors into the growing point in the cell wall and catalyze glyosidic bond formation. Transpeptidation is the final step in cell wall synthesis.
