Genetics of Bacteria, Bacteriophage and Plasmids
Covers the genetic mechanisms that regulate cellular processed in procaryotes. Fundamental concepts in bacterial genetics including mutagenesis and gene transfer are presented. Mechanisms of transcriptional, translational, and post translational control are discussed in the context of the lactose operon, plasmid replication control and bacteriophages lambda, T4 and M13.
