Study Notes
Enzymes
- Constitutive enzymes are always present and expressed in a cell, regardless of the presence of a substrate.
- Inducible enzymes are only expressed when their corresponding substrate is present.
Transduction
Generalized Transduction
- Involves random packing of bacterial DNA fragments inside phage heads during phage assembly.
Specialized Transduction
- Involves the transfer of specific host genes during phage assembly.
Conjugation
- F pilus is essential for chromosome transfer by conjugation.
