answer✔MinE

Define antimicrobial agent - answer✔any agent, natural or synthetic, that has the ability to
suppress or kill microorganisms

-cidal agents ______ microorganisms - answer✔kill

-static inhibits ________ in microorgansims - answer✔growth

-lytic agents completely _______ the cell - answer✔lyse
Bacteriostatic agents inhibit biochemical processes such as protein synthesis and bind _____.
Hence, when the agent is added, the viable cell count becomes ______ for a time, and when
removed the viable cell count _______ again. The total cell count ______ the viable cell count. -
answer✔weakly, static, increases, equals
Bacteriocidal agents bind tightly and _____ the cell. This means the viable cell count will
________ towards zero, whilst the total cell count ______ ______. - answer✔kill, decrease,
doesn't change
Bacteriolytic agents kill by _______. This means viable cell count _________ towards zero as
cells are dying, and also total cell count ___________ towards zero as cells are ______. -
answer✔lysis, decreases, decreases, bursting

What protein regulates chromosome replication initiation in microbes? - answer✔DnaA
DnA binding to specific sequences within the o_______ r_______ leads to D___ u________ and
loading of r______. This is most active when linked to A___ (DnaA-ATP). - answer✔oriC
region, DNA unwinding, replisome, ATP
After initiation, DnaA-ATP needs to be inactivated to prevent another replisome binding for
organisation purposes. The molecular mechanism for this involves c_________ for oriC
b_______; r__________ of dnaA e_________; t_________of DnaA-ATP away from o____;
i__________ of D__________. - answer✔competition, binding, repression, experession,

After replication initiation, which DNA strand is still methylated and what is this concept called?
- answer✔only the parental strand; hemimethylated DNA

What is the function of SeqA? - answer✔Strongly binds to hemimethylated OriC which blocks
DnaA-ATP expression

What is the oriC locus? - answer✔origin of replication
