- 1Transposition Segment of DNA (eg, transposon) that can “jump” (excision and reintegration) from one location to another, can transfer genes from what to what and vice versa?Segment of DNA (eg, transposon) that can
“jump” (excision and reintegration) from
one location to another, can transfer genes
from plasmid to chromosome and vice versa. - 2Transposition When excision occurs, it may include some what, which can be incorporated into a plasmid and transferred to another bacterium?When excision occurs, may include some flanking chromosomal DNA, which can be incorporated into a plasmid and transferred to another bacterium (eg, vanA gene from vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus to S aureus).
- 3—Transposition

- 5What are examples of spore-forming bacteria?Bacillus anthracis - Anthrax
Bacillus cereus - Food poisoning
Clostridium botulinum - Botulism
Clostridium difficile - Pseudomembranous colitis

Clostridium tetani - Tetanus - 6Some bacteria can form spores - when?Some bacteria can form spores A at the end of the stationary phase when nutrients are limited
- 7Some bacteria can form spores at the end of the stationary phase when what are limited?Some bacteria can form spores at the end of the stationary phase when nutrients are limited.
- 8Spores are highly resistant to what?Spores are highly resistant to heat and
chemicals. - 9What do spores have in their core?Have dipicolinic acid in their core.
- 10What is the metabolic activity of spores?Have no metabolic activity
