This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Internal_Structures.cmap, transposons integrons, ribosomes function, Under conditions of starvation, especially the lack of carbon and nitrogen sources, a single endospores form within some of the bacteria. The process is called sporulation. composition, nucleoid characteristics, Clostridium, ribosomes significance to control of bacterial growth Many antibiotics alter bacterial ribosomes, interfering with translation and thereby causing faulty protein synthesis., endospores nature, Although harmless themselves until they germinate, they are involved in the transmission of some diseases to humans. examples, Structures Located Within the Cytoplasm structures Plasmids and Transposons, Function as a resistant, dormant survival form of the organism. benefit to bacterium Resistant to high temperatures (including boiling), antibiotics, most disinfectants, low energy radiation, drying, etc., nucleoid composition A long, single molecule of double-stranded, helical, supercoiled DNA., Very important in horizontal gene transfer in bacteria. horizontal gene transfer, formation Under conditions of starvation, especially the lack of carbon and nitrogen sources, a single endospores form within some of the bacteria. The process is called sporulation., germination Although harmless themselves until they germinate, they are involved in the transmission of some diseases to humans., benefit to bacterium Can provide a selective advantage under certain environmental conditions., nucleoid significance to control of bacterial growth, plasmids function, Transposons elements or "jumping genes" are small pieces of DNA that contain a number of genes coding for antibiotic resistance or other traits, flanked at both ends by insertion sequences coding for an enzyme called transpoase. benefit to bacterium Very important in horizontal gene transfer in bacteria., Structures Located Within the Cytoplasm structure ribosomes, endospores function Function as a resistant, dormant survival form of the organism.
