Читать книгу Snyder and Champness Molecular Genetics of Bacteria - Tina M. Henkin - Страница 20

In bacterial genetics, genetic techniques are used to study bacteria. Applying genetic analysis to bacteria is not different in principle from applying it to other organisms. However, the methods that are available differ greatly. Some types of bacteria are relatively easy to manipulate genetically. As a consequence, more is known about some bacteria than is known about any other type of organism. Some of the properties of bacteria that facilitate genetic experiments are described below.
