A) lysis reactions (breaking down). B. Enzymes. 1. proteins that facilitate chemical reactions. Microbial Metabolism. A. Microbial Reproduction. 1. binary (transverse) fission. A) parent cell enlarges and duplicates all its genetic material. B) DNA copies move to opposite ends of parent and attach to a section of the cell membrane as it begins to pinch together at the center. A. Structure of DNA. 1. discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. 2. stores genetic information for the production of proteins. 3. composed of nucleotides. A) a nucleotide is composed of a nitrogenous base, sugar, and phosphate. In the Environment. Table 9.1 Terminology of Microbial Control. Figure 9.1 A plot of microbial death rate..
