put bacteria in flask, watch growth
initial no bacteria, then exponential growth, plateau, loss
no growth. May be growing in size but not dividing
exponential, log
antibiotics greatest effect
dying from not enough nutrients
death = growth
DNA in environment or lab experiment
micro labs: genes in culture media for replication
DNAase degrade DNA freely in culture
incorporate plasmids in DNA
can transfer entire genome or partial genome to another bacteria without plasmid
plasmid transferred and drags portion of bacteria with it
DNA potentially incorporated
viral DNA live in bacterial genome for a while
lytic: generalized transduction, lyses bacteria infected
lysogenic: may later become lytic or just live inside bacteria
jumping genes
