1. what are the main differences between transformation, transduction, and conjugation?

2. what are the distinguishing features of alpha hemolysis and beta hemolysis?





  #2

conjugation has physical contact between two cells and genetic transfer
transduction has a phage
tranformation has a nascent dna extracellular uptake

a hemolyisis is incomplete blood lysis and b hemolysis is clear lysis of rbc

strept pyogenes and strept agaltiae are b hemolytic, whereas, strpt pneumoniae and viridans re alpha hemolytic

alpha hemolysis will form a green zone wheras beta hemolysis will form a clear zone

about transduction

it has a bacteriophage, viruses gen use this, they get incorporated into the bacterial genome, and then reproduce. and they can undergo a lytic cycle and a lysogenic cycle

transformation is when say a bacteria is lying in a medium and another dead cell releases its dna, which is taken in by that bact




  #4

are listeria and staph aureus an examples of B hemolysis too???



  #5

yes
