Why mightproteorhodopsin make a bacterium such as Pelagibacter morecompetitive in its habitat?
Pseudomonas is a gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium, sometimes inhabits the intestinal tract, and considered an important cause of urinary tract infection and sepsis, however, it is not a member of family Enterobacteriaceae. Discus this statement, keep your response within 80-100 characters limit.*
The highly pathogenic anaerobic bacterium Clostridium perfringens is responsible for gas gangrene, a condition in which animal tissue structure is destroyed. This bacterium secretes an enzyme that efficiently catalyzes the hydrolysis of the peptide bond indicated in red: where X and Y are any of the 20 common amino acids. How does the secretion of this enzyme contribute to the invasiveness of this bacterium in human tissues? Why does thisenzyme not affect the bacterium itself?
Mutant strains of Helicobacter pylori that lack the ability to produce urease fail to cause infection when they are swallowed. Infection occurs, however, if a tube is used to introduce them directly into the layer of mucus that overlies the stomach epithelium. What does this imply about the role of urease in the bacterium’s pathogenicity?
