Bacterial Conjugation

"(a) During conjugation, the pilus pulls two bacteria together. (b) Next, a bridge (essentially a pore) forms between the two cells. A single-stranded copy of plasmid DNA is produced in the donor cell and then passes into the recipient bacterium, where the single strand, serving as a template, is converted to the double-stranded helix."

How E-coli bacteria transmit DNA from one cell to another. I wonder if they enjoy it.

Odd Breakfasts

Er. I accidentally turned down the thermostat on my fridge sometime last week, apparently. I turned it up again, but my milk is still mostly frozen. This has made breakfast rather challenging and unusual.

Oh, and MHC has apologized for the lost packages and lack of communication. They are sending replacements for the packages that were lost, so hopefully my brother and I will soon be caught up.
