Many Japanese people consume a diet rich in seaweed, including the edible red alga Porphyra, which is used for preparing sushi.

Although humans cannot digest the seaweed polysaccharides (porphyran and agarose), certain marine Bacteroidetes do possess the necessary CAZymes. Curiously, Japanese individuals frequently harbor seaweed-digesting Bacteroides plebeius in their gut microbiomes, while individuals from North America do not. Bacteroides plebeius is not a marine bacterium, and its close relatives cannot digest seaweed. What is the mostly likely explanation for how B. plebeius acquired functional porphyranase and agarase genes?

Answer:

Bacteroides plebeius which is present in the gut humans have the same genes to marine bacterium Zobellia galactanivorans.

Explanation:

many researchers findout that bacteroides plebeius acquired functional porphyranase and agarase genes from a marine bacterium called Zobellia galactanivorans. Zobellia galactanivorans is a marine bacterium which has the ability to digest complex polysaccharides such as agarose and porphyran. so due to similar genes, Bacteroides plebeius also digest polysaccharides such as agarose and porphyran present in sea weed.

Your friend brings you rocks with a thick layer of oxidation weathering, and no other visible signs of weathering. this is a clu
Vsevolod [243]
<span>A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water. There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical, and biological. For the physical weathering, there are two main types. Freeze-thaw cycles and exfoliation. Obviously the freeze-thaw cycles require water and the exfoliation generally happens through thermal expansion and contraction which doesn't require water. But since neither of these mechanisms were observed, that doesn't indicate if the area was wet or dry. Biological weathering is caused by plants or animals breaking down rocks via chemical (acid) or mechanical (root growth) means. Life generally indicates the presence of water, but since this form of weathering wasn't observed, we still don't have enough data. Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the rocks to form new minerals and salts. There are several types such as acidic rainwater dissolving part of the rock, and oxidation. With this in mind, let's take a look at the available options. A moist environment because there is a greater density of oxygen in the atmosphere in the presence of water. * Yes, we need a moist environment, but the density of oxygen is fairly constant world wide regardless of how moist or dry the environment is. So this is a bad choice. A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water. * Water speeds up chemical weathering of all types. So this is the correct choice. A dry environment because the increased albedo of deserts encourages physical weathering processes such as oxidation. * Yes, the increased albedo of deserts does speed up spalling, but oxidation is a CHEMICAL weathering process, not a PHYSICAL one. So this is a bad choice. A dry environment because in the absence of water oxidation is the dominant weathering process. * Water speeds up oxidation quite a bit. And since the observed oxidation is thick, there's been quite a bit of weathering. So this is a bad choice.</span>
