38
Q

Transfer of genetic material from a donor
bacterial strain to a recipient strain

defined as the sum of all chemical
processes that take place in a living organism and

42
Q

Bacterial metabolism is divided into two major parts:

A

anabolism or the constructive phase
catabolism

bacterial structures from the resulting carbon skeleton.

A

Bacterial metabolism

44
Q

All ________ in the cell depend on the
presence and activity of specific enzymes

biochemical reactions

45
Q

It is accomplished by the breakdown of chemical substrates
(chemical energy) through the degradative process of
catabolism that is coupled with oxidation reduction
reactions.
