Microbial Biochemistry

Microbial biochemistry comprises of biochemical reactions in microbial growth, various modes and mechanisms of pathogenesis required in causing infection/ diseases within the host. It involves the study of microbial growth, microbial cell structure, microbial metabolism, advanced functions and the interactions of biological macromolecules, like carbohydrates, proteins, fatty acids and nucleic acids; which cater the skeletal aspect and basis of functions affiliated with life. Biochemical study of microbes is important in the processes of their action. Post genomic analyses, maintenance of mechanisms, & functional replication, integrating plasmid functions, conjugation systems and regulatory network are the major factors that play an important role in metabolism of microbes. When monomers are co-linked to synthesize a polymer, dehydration occurs often leading to assembly of various macromolecules during a much larger complex.
