- Question 1 The creation of milk products such as cheeses and yogurts is dependent on the conversion by various anaerobic bacteria, including several Lactobacillus species, of lactose to glucose and galactose, ultimately producing lactic acid. These conversions are dependent on both permease and β-galactosidase as part of the lac operon. After selection for rapid fermentation for the production of yogurt, one Lactobacillus subspecies lost its ability to regulate lac operon expression. Would you consider it likely that in this subspecies the lac operon is “on” or “off”? What genetic events would likely contribute to the loss of regulation as described above?

- Please answer the following questions using numbers and not text. For example, if you think the answer is 24, write 24 and not twenty-four. If you think the answer is 24 ATP, write only the number 24. As a microbiology technician, your job is to characterize a novel bacterial strain isolated from insects. Phenotypically, you have discovered that the new bacterial strain can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen. After genome sequencing and biochemical characterization, you know that your new organism is capable of making all of the enzymes necessary for glycolysis and the TCA cycle, and that it has an electron transport chain. Answer the following questions based on the growth of your organism on minimal media plates containing only acetate as a carbon and energy source. Acetate is transported across the membrane at the cost of 3 ATP per molecule. Each question should be answered based on the metabolism of one molecule of acetate. If you come up with a negative value, indicate an…arrow_forwardWhat feature of eukaryotic translation is especially responsible for its efficiency?arrow_forwardQUESTION 48 Identify the best match between the mutation description and term. a. Synonymous mutation: has the potential to cause large changes in transcription and subsequence amino acid sequence due to reading frameshifts b. Nonsense mutation: causes a drastic change in phenotype because the change causes a premature stop in the amino acid sequence c. Indel: a change in the DNA that changes the codon code from one amino acid to another amino acid d.
