Document Summary
Microbial growth: define growth as it pertains to microorganisms. Bacteria have 1 circular chromosome and 1 origin of replication. Circular chromosomes have ter sites across from the origin of replication are recognized by tus proteins that block progress of the replication fork. For prokaryotes- circular chromosomes have ter sites across from the origin of replication that are recognized by tus proteins that block the progress of the replication fork. Min proteins are abundant at the poles ensuring that the divisome forms only at the cell center. Ftsz proteins are found in the space between the duplicated nucleoids where the ring forms. Mreb proteins: as the cell elongates, holes are made in the existing cell wall to make room for new cell wall material. Across the openings of either side the divisome: describe simple budding. Simple budding results in unequal products of cell division.
