Genes, Bacterial

Medical Definition:	The genetic material of bacteria.
Guide Notes:	coord IM with specific bacterium /genet (IM); DF: GENES BACT
Also Called:	AmpC Gene
Previously Indexed:	Genes (1966-1981),specific bacterium/GE (1978-1981)

Genes, Bacterial Categories.

	Genes, Nitrogen Fixation - Regulatory and structural genes present in certain bacteria, algae and fungi that control the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into biologically usable compounds; include nif structural genes (e.g., nifD, nifH) for nitrogenase and nitrate reductase as well as regulator genes nifA, nifB, ntrA, ntrB, ntrC. Some are responsible for regulating transcription of genes involved in the assimilation of poor nitrogen sources in enteric bacteria.
	Genes, Structural, Bacterial - DNA sequences that code for RNA and for the proteins required for the enzymatic and structural function of bacterial cells.
	Genome, Bacterial - The complete gene complement contained in a single chromosome in a bacterium.
