Please discuss how the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens normally functions. Please also discuss how this bacterium can be used to help plants attain genes to help fight off insects and herbicides.
Homework Answers
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a plant pathogen .It perceives plant derived signals to activate its virulence genes and which is responsible for transferring and integrating .It transfered DNA (T- dna ) from its Tumor - in inducing (Ti) plasmid in to the plant nucleus .Agro bacterium tumefaciens causes disease like crown gall disease on various species of plant by introducing T -DNa in to the genome.
The tumor producing Agrobacterium tumefaciens has the ability to transfer DNA between itself and plant .so it is used as a tool in genetic engineer.
The action of Agrobacterium tumefaciens has enabled the bacterium to be used as a tool for plant breeding .Any desired genes , like insecticidal toxin genes or herbicides resistance gene can be engineered into the bacterial DNA and there by inserted to the plant genome.

Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative bacterium commonly found in soil and water. This bacterium is also frequently associated with nosocomial infections, diseases patients acquire while they are in a hospital. A. baumannii tends to thrive in hospital settings because the bacterium is resistant to environmental influences and can survive for months on such objects as faucets, toilets, bedclothes, doorknobs, sinks, and medical equipment. The spread of this bacterium is a concern for all medical facilities, but especially military ones, which...
