Microbial Genetics is a field of microbiology and genetic engineering. Microbial genetics studies microorganisms for a variety of purposes. The observed microorganisms are bacteria and archaea. Several fungi and protozoa have also been studied in this area. Various types of recombination are known for microorganisms. The most common form is general recombination, which usually involves the exchange of DNA between a pair of DNA sequences. It occurs throughout the chromosomes of microorganisms and is characterized by bacterial transformation, bacterial recombination, and exchanges that occur during bacterial transduction. This session includes:

1. Gene Expression

2. Gene Regulation

3. DNA Replication & Mutation

4. Mechanisms of Gene Transfer
