Molecular Microbiology and Latest Studies on Genetic Transformation in Bacteria

Ayush Singh

The studies of proteolytic enzymes and the mechanisms of macromolecule turnover in bacteria continued effectively in this period. The mechanisms of regulation of protease synthesis in Bacillus megaterium were disclosed. The studies on mechanisms of turnover of cell wall mucopeptide in B. megaterium were expanded to the analogous analyses in E. coli. The systematic analysis of effects of several factors on the process of sporulation in B. cereus finally led to the discovery of the wholly new phenomenon of "micro cycle sporogenesis".
