Presentation Transcript

  1. Methods to study molecular architecture • Microscopy - electron and light • Bacterial genetics and molecular biology - identify genes necessary for synthesis and regulation • Biochemistry - examine separate parts, determine chemical composition, activity • Extremely powerful combination

  2. RNA • mRNA: associated with ribosomes; being translated into protein • tRNA: transfer RNAs, charged with amino acids • rRNA: along with 56 different proteins make up the ribosome

  3. Inclusions • poly-b-hydroxyalkanoate (PHA) or poly-b-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) • Carbon and energy sources • Glycogen (C and E sources) • Phosphates (C. diphtherae), sulfides (e-donor) • Gas vesicles (buoyancy, Cyanobacteria)
