Gene regulation allows for adaptation to environmental changes for an individual organism in the present. Pre-2001 (HGP) Epigenetic changes allows for adaptation to current environmental changes for an individual organism to be passed on to its offspring, without changes in the DNA sequence 22%
50,000 bp ds DNA 15 coat proteins Phage Infects E. coli
Phage binds to Cell membrane.... ...... and inserts dsDNA into cell In the lytic phase the cell replicates the phage DNA New phage particles are created …. Then the cell is lysed and the virus is released to the environment to seek new hosts. E Coli cell
Add phage – plaque forms With bacterial growth Petri Dish with Nutrients
DNA inserted into bacterial chromosome Lysogenic Phase Dormant phage’s DNA Copied with each bacterial cell division cycle. E Coli cell
Petri Dish plaques E. Coli cells (lysogenic) reclaim plaque areas, but give ‘turbid’ appearance. DNA damage can be induced by UV light and causes switch from lysogenic to lytic phase. Lysogenic E Coli cells are immune to l phage infection.

HTH E coli SOS Response E coli contains 17 SOS genes — e.g. HSPs encode DNA repair/recombination genes — LexA & RecA LexA Repressor of SOS operon LexA contains HTH motif & similar AG sequence to cI
RecA Function Low [ ] under ‘normal’ circumstances binds to ssDNA: complex cleaves LexAat AG [RecA] - ssDNA + ATP dsDNA + ADP If l phage lysogen then RecA cleaves cI and induces lytic phase shift
