Microbial electrosynthesis is a form of microbial electrocatalysis in which electrons are supplied to living microorganisms via a cathode in an electrochemical cell by applying an electric current . The electrons are then used by the microorganisms to reduce carbon dioxide to yield industrially relevant products. The electric current would ideally be produced by a renewable source of power. ref http mbio.asm.org content 1 2 e00103 10 Microbial Electrosynthesis Feeding Microbes Electricity To Convert Carbon Dioxide and Water to Multicarbon Extracellular Organic Compounds Bot generated title ref This process is the opposite to that employed in a microbial fuel cell , in which microorganisms transfer electrons from the oxidation of compounds to an anode to generate an electric current. Comparison to microbial electrolysis cell s Microbial electrosynthesis is related to microbial electrolysis cells MEC . Both use the interactions of microorganisms with a cathode to reduce chemical compounds, but differ in the source of power for this process. In microbial electrosynthesis electrons are supplied solely by the external electrical power source. In MECs, and electrical power source is used to augment the electrical potential produced by the microorganisms consuming a source of chemical energy such as acetic acid .

Microbial intelligence popularly known as bacterial intelligence is the intelligence shown by microorganism s. The concept encompasses complex adaptive behaviour shown by single cells, and altruistic and or cooperative behavior in populations of like or unlike cells mediated by chemical signalling that induces physiological or behavioral changes in cells and influences colony structures. Complex cells, like protozoa or algae , show remarkable abilities to organise themselves in changing circumstances http www.brianjford.com 04 12 ingens.pdf . Shell building by amoebae, reveals complex discrimination and manipulative skills that are ordinarily thought to occur only in multicellular organisms. Even bacteria, which show primitive behavior as isolated cells, can display more sophisticated behavior as a population. These behaviors occur in single species populations, or mixed species populations. Examples are colonies of Myxobacteria , quorum sensing , and biofilm s. It has been suggested that a bacterial colony loosely mimics a biological neural network . The bacteria can take inputs in form of chemical signals, process them and then produce output chemicals to signal other bacteria in the colony. The mechanisms that enable single celled organisms to coordinate in populations presumably carried over in those lines that evolved multicellularity, and were co opted as mechanisms to coordinate multicellular organisms.

Image Entamoeba histolytica 01.jpg thumb Cyst stage of Entamoeba histolytica A microbial cyst is a resting or dormancy dormant stage of a microorganism, usually a bacterium or a protist or rarely an invertebrate animal , that helps the organism to survive in unfavorable environmental conditions. It can be thought of as a state of suspended animation in which the metabolic processes of the cell are slowed down and the cell ceases all activities like feeding and locomotion. Encystment also helps the microbe to disperse easily, from one host biology host to another or to a more favorable environment. When the encysted microbe reaches an environment favorable to its growth and survival, the cyst wall breaks down by a process known as excystation . Unfavorable environmental conditions such as lack of nutrients or oxygen, extreme temperatures, lack of moisture and presence of toxic chemicals, which are not conducive for the growth of the microbe ref name Nester Eugene W.

Microbes use many different types of metabolism metabolic strategies and species can often be differentiated from each other based on metabolic characteristics.

Bacterial genetics is the subfield of genetics devoted to the study of bacteria. Bacterial genetics are subtly different from eukaryotic genetics, however bacteria still serve as a good model for animal genetic studies. One of the major distinctions between bacterial and eukaryotic genetics stems from the bacteria s lack of membrane bound organelles this is true of all prokaryotes. While it is a fact that there are prokaryotic organelles, they are never bound by a lipid membrane, but by a shell of proteins , necessitating protein synthesis occur in the cytoplasm .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Classical genetics consists of the technique and methodologies of genetics that predate the advent of molecular biology . A key discovery of classical genetics in eukaryote s was genetic linkage . The observation that some gene s do not segregate independently at meiosis broke the laws of Mendelian inheritance , and provided science with a way to map characteristics to a location on the chromosome s. Linkage maps are still used today, especially in breeding for plant improvement . After the discovery of the genetic code and such tools of Clone genetics cloning as restriction enzyme s, the avenues of investigation open to geneticists were greatly broadened. Some classical genetic ideas have been supplanted with the mechanistic understanding brought by molecular discoveries, but many remain intact and in use. Classical genetics is often contrasted with reverse genetics , and aspects of molecular biology are sometimes referred to as molecular genetics .
