Research on the growth requirements of this bacterium is required.Clostridium tetani is a common soil bacterium and causes tetanus. Would you expect C. tetani to possess the enzyme catalase? Explain.Which type of prokaryote is shown in this image? A. Photoheterotroph B. Chemoheterotroph C. Photoautotroph D. Chemoautotroph
- The TSI Agar Slant We have limited the amount of glucose in this medium to one tenth that of sucrose and lactose. What do you think would happen if we give the organisms an unlimited amount of glucose? ExplainNitrogenase complexes are irreversibly inactivated by oxygen. Explain how nitrogen-fixing bacteria solve this problem.In growing E.coli, why is that (reasons) they do not grow after doubling time under 20 degrees celsius and under 37 degrees celsius, the number of colonies after doubling time has decreased?
- If two cultures of a facultative anaerobe were grown under identical conditions except that one was exposed to oxygen and the other was completely deprived of oxygen, what differences would you expect to see between the two cultures? (What metabolic pathway would be occurring in each? Why?)What is the process by which bacteria convert nitrogen gas in the air to ammonia ?Nitrogen fixing bacteria can use atmospheric nitrogen as their sole source of nitrogen.
