Abstract

Gıda mikrobiyolojisi, gıdaların üretimi, kalitesi ve güvenliği üzerinde etkisi olan mikroorganizmaların incelenmesine odaklanırken, mikrobiyel genetik, mikroorganizmaların kalıtsal bilgi mekanizmalarının araştırılmasıyla ilgilenir. Mikrobiyel genetik, öncü bir disiplin olan mikrobiyoloji ve genetik mühendisliği içinde bir alandır. Bu alan, genlerin nasıl çalıştığını ve nasıl kontrol edildiğini anlamak, farklı mekanizmalarla çalışan gen ürünlerini belirlemek gibi amaçlarla mikroorganizmaları analiz eder. Bu çalışmada gıda mikrobiyolojisi ve genetik başlığını anlamamıza yardımcı olan Escherichia coli gibi önemli bir model mikroorganizma üzerinden giriş niteliğinde bir inceleme yapılmıştır.

FOOD MICROBIOLOGY AND GENETICS: ESCHERICHIA COLI

Abstract

Food microbiology focuses on examining microorganisms that impact the production, quality and safety of food, while microbial genetics is concerned with investigating the genetic information mechanisms of microorganisms. Microbial genetics is a field within the pioneering discipline of microbiology and genetic engineering. Microbial genetics analyzes microorganisms to understand how genes function and how they are regulated. It also identifies gene products that operate through various mechanisms. This study provides an introductory examination by investigating a significant model microorganism such as Escherichia coli, which helps us to understand food microbiology and genetics.
