The type of pathogens that are required to synthesize their own amino acid and the type that does not need the same.
Introduction:
Amino acids are the chief components that are associated with the formation of protein. The proteins are designated with a range of functions that include the gene expression and catalyzing a reaction that occurs inside the cell. The bacteria also require amino acid in order to reflect their gene expression and to maintain their viability.
