Why does growth of ETPUM in Medium # require oxygen? ' ink about this in terms of howETPUM can generate a net gain in ATP by processing polyurethane. Remember that the degradationof polyurethane by polyurethanase does not expend ATP. In order to answer this question, address eachof the following questions in your answer:a. Is there a net gain or loss of ATP during the transport of the citrate?b. Consider the ATPs that can be generated via substrate-level phosphorylation. Will glycolysis beuseful for generating any ATPs during growth on polyurethane? How many ATPs can be generatedvia TCA? Is this enough to support growth (is there a net positive in the ATP tally)?c. Now consider how else ETPUM can generate ATPs (if not by substrate- level phosphorylation). Canthis process generate a net positive in the ATP tally?d. Now explain the importance of oxygen as relates to the ATP tally.

J. C. Servaites, in Plant Physiol. (1985) 78:839–843, observed that Rubisco from tobacco leaves collected before dawn had a much lower specific activity than the enzyme collected at noon.
