  3. Thiomargarita magnifica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiomargarita_magnifica

    In bacteria, both nutrients and waste products of metabolism reach the interior of the cell by diffusion, which places an upper limit on the size of these organisms.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_growth

    In comparison to batch culture, bacteria are maintained in exponential growth phase, and the growth rate of the bacteria is known. Related devices include turbidostats and auxostats . When Escherichia coli is growing very slowly with a doubling time of 16 hours in a chemostat most cells have a single chromosome.

  6. Genomic library - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genomic_library

    YACs can hold inserts up to 2000kb, but most YAC libraries contain inserts 250-400kb in size. Theoretically there is no upper limit on the size of insert a YAC can hold. It is the quality in the preparation of DNA used for inserts that determines the size limit. [2] The most challenging aspect of using YAC is the fact they are prone to ...

  7. Bacterial genome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_genome

    New genes may be introduced into bacteria by a bacteriophage that has replicated within a donor through generalized transduction or specialized transduction. The amount of DNA that can be transmitted in one event is constrained by the size of the phage capsid (although the upper limit is about 100 kilobases). While phages are numerous in the ...

    Most bacteria have a single circular chromosome that can range in size from only 160,000 base pairs in the endosymbiotic bacteria Carsonella ruddii, [125] to 12,200,000 base pairs (12.2 Mbp) in the soil-dwelling bacteria Sorangium cellulosum. [126]
