Nevertheless, it was found that, regardless of the method used to develop competence, the result is a conspicuous increase in the concentration of the PolyP-PHB complexes in the plasma membranes. When formation of the complexes is prevented by any means, transformation is inhibited (Reusch et al, 1986 Huang and Reusch, 1995). DNA binding... 

Artificial transformation of Escherichia coli cells will be performed as part of Experiment 21. In this experiment, you will study natural transformation using strains of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. Natural transformation has been subjected to extensive study by genetic and biochemical analysis. B. subtilis cells are not able to take up DNA and undergo transformation under all growth conditions, but generally develop competence during periods of nutrient limitation (along with other responses such...

It is clear that the student-centric approach creates a better ambience for assimilation and retention of the course content. It also alleviates the teaching-learning process to higher levels of Bloom s taxonomy as compared to the teacher-centric traditional method. In the traditional approach, students were made to strictly follow the instructions and obtain the results, while the proposed method provides a 50 % (15 h) duration for the course instructor to provide the necessary technical support as the remainder of the allotted duration is utilized to develop competency through the self-learning component.
