Watson and Crick proposed that during DNA replication the double helix is unwound and each parental DNA strand is used as a template to generate a new daughter strand. What is this mode of replication called?

Coral bleaching is primarily caused by antimicrobials that disrupt the mutualistic relationships formed between corals and their bacterial symbionts.

Started by Simone

Due to the close interactions with other organisms, obligate symbionts generally have larger genome sizes compared to other non-symbiotic bacteria.

Molecular evidence suggests that leeches contain two distinct bacterial communities in their bladder.

Genome sequencing of the bacterial symbionts of animals has allowed us to compare the genomic features of several symbionts. The following data were collected on two insect symbionts: Symbiont A: 0.4 Mb genome, 20% G+C content, missing or incomplete peptidoglycan synthesis and nucleotide synthesis pathways. Symbiont B: 1.8 Mb genome, 40% G+C content, peptidoglycan and most nucleotide synthesis pathways complete. What will be an ideal response?

Why was Escherichia coli thought to be a dominant member of the human gut microbial community in the past?

Started by Karisa

The gut flora is relatively stable over long time periods in healthy adults, suggesting its highly evolved role in the human body.

Archaea are commonly present in rumens.

Plant diversity is generally lower in environments where mycorrhizae are associated with plants due to strong coevolution, which leads to competitive exclusion.

Bacterial cells themselves serve as major sources of protein and vitamins in hindgut fermenting animals such as rabbits and horses.

The mycelia of mycorrhizae can form underground nutrient networks where several trees are connected.
