The prokaryotic cell is unit of structure, two group microbial, bacteria and blue
green –algae. Prokaryotic cell is simple and small. Prokaryotic cell is not
compartmentalized by unit membrane. Prokaryotic cell have two structurally
distinguished two internal region: cytoplasm and nuclear region. Cytoplasm contains
graing dark spot due to the present of ribosome.
Ribosome is the site of important biochemical reaction for protein synthesis. The
nucleur contain deoxyribose nucleuic acid (DNA) ,which contain genetic information
that determine the production of protein and structure .
The prokaryotic cell is surrounded by cell wall and a cell membrane. The cell wall
is considerable thicker than cell membrane, and it protect cells from external
influence. The cell membrane serve as the surface which other cells components
attack and important cell function take place.
4. The basic procedures of recombinant DNA techniques have two factor. They are
(1) to join the DNA segment to the molecule and they can be replicated .

Fig, Method for the production of recombinant DNA
Fig shows the overall procedure for the production of recombinant DNA .The
plasmid is cut at a number of defined sites with a restriction enzyme. The DNA of a
foreign genome is cleaved with a restriction enzyme. Some of the resulting fragments may
have the gene of interest. Plasmids and genome fragments are mixed and joined by DNA
ligase. The recombinant plasmids are introduced into bacteria by cocultivation of plasmids
and bacteria.
1 Lag Phase
The lag phase (or initial stationary, or latent) is an initial period of cultivation
during which the change of cell number is zero or negligible. Even though the cell number
does not increase, the cells may grow in size during this period.
The length of this lag period depends on many factors such as the type and age of
the microorganisms, the size of the inoculum, and culture conditions. The lag usually
occurs because the cells must adjust to the new medium before growth can begin. If
10
microorganisms are inoculated from a medium with a low nutrient concentration to a
medium with a high concentration, the length of the lag period is usually long. This is
because the cells must produce the enzymes necessary for the metabolization of the
available nutrients. If they are moved from a high to a low nutrient concentration, there is
usually no lag phase.
Another important factor affection the length of the lag phase is the size of the
inoculum. If a small amount of cells are inoculated into a large volume, they will have a
long lag phase. For large-scale operation of the cell culture, it is our objective to make this
lag phase as short as possible. Therefore, to inoculate a large fermenter, we need to have a
series of progressively larger seed tanks to minimize the effect of the lag phase.

Fig Typical growth curve of unicellular organisms: (A) lag phase; (B) accelerated
growth phase; (C) exponential phase; (D) decelerated growth phase; (E) stationary phase;
(F) death phase.
At the end of the lag phase, when growth begins, the division rate increases
gradually and reaches a maximum value in the exponential growth period, as shown by the
rising inflection at B in fig. This transitional period is commonly called the accelerated
growth phase and is often included as a part of the lat phase.
In unicellular organisms, the progressive doubling of cell number results in a
continually increasing rate of grown in the population. A bacterial culture undergoing
balanced growth mimics a first-order autocatalytic chemical reaction. Therefore, the rate
of the number density (Cn) of bacteria present at that time:
dC n
rn C n where the constant is known as the specific growth rate
dt
hr 1 .The specific growth rate should not be confused with the growth rate, which has
different units and meaning. The growth rate is the change of the cell number density with
time, while the specific growth rate is
1 dC n d ln C n
C n dt dt
The growth of microbial populations is normally limited either by the exhaustion of
available nutrients or by the accumulation of toxic products of metabolism. As a
consequence, the rate of growth declines and growth eventually stops. At this point a
culture is said to be in the stationary phase. The transition between the exponential phase
and the stationary phase involves a period of unbalanced growth during which the various
cellular components are synthesized at unequal rates. Consequently, cells in the stationary
phase have a chemical composition different from that of cells in the exponential phase.
The stationary phase is usually followed by a death phase in which the organisms
in the population die. Death occurs either because of the depletion of the cellular reserves
of energy, or the accumulation of toxic products. Like growth, death is an exponential
11
function. In some cases, the organisms not only die but also disintegrate, a process called
lysis.
