Thermophilic anaerobic bacteria are highly insensitive to ethanol. Scientists demonstrate that one of their membrane proteins X

(Sequence: Gln-Ser-Ser-Lys-Gln) is involved in ethanol tolerance. Proteins similar to X are also found in five different yeast strains. Their corresponding mRNA sequences follow below. If you were a biofuel factory manager, which one would you use in the production of high concentration ethanol?

Answer:

Since high ethanol is a major stress during ethanol fermentation, ethanol-tolerant yeast strains are highly desirable for ethanol production on an industrial scale. A technology called global transcriptional machinery engineering (gTME), which exploits a mutant SPT15 library that encodes the TATA-binding protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Alper et al., 2006; Science 314: 1565-1568), appears to be a powerful tool. to create ethanol tolerant strains. However, the ability of the strains created to tolerate high ethanol content in rich media remains to be demonstrated. In this study, a similar strategy was used to obtain five strains with higher ethanol tolerance (ETS1-5) of S. cerevisiae. When comparing the global transcriptional profiles of two selected strains ETS2 and ETS3 with that of the control, 42 genes that were commonly regulated with a double change were identified. Of the 34 deletion mutants available in an inactivated gene library, 18 were sensitive to ethanol, suggesting that these genes were closely associated with tolerance to ethanol.

Explanation:

Eight of them were novel and most were functionally unknown. To establish a basis for future industrial applications, the iETS2 and iETS3 strains were created by integrating the SPT15 mutant alleles of ETS2 and ETS3 into the chromosomes, which also exhibited increased tolerance to ethanol and survival after ethanol shock in a rich medium. Fermentation with 20% glucose for 24 h in a bioreactor revealed that iETS2 and iETS3 grew better and produced approximately 25% more ethanol than a control strain. The performance and productivity of ethanol also improved substantially: 0.31 g / g and 2.6 g / L / h, respectively, for the control and 0.39 g / g and 3.2 g / L / h, respectively, for iETS2 and iETS3.

 Therefore, our study demonstrates the utility of gTME in generating strains with increased tolerance to ethanol that resulted in increased ethanol production. Strains with increased tolerance to other stresses such as heat, fermentation inhibitors, osmotic pressure, etc., can be further created using gTME.

What is needed to convert PGA into G3P in the second step of the Calvin-Benson cycle? carbon atoms from carbon dioxide, RuBP, an
gtnhenbr [62]

PGA ( Phosphoglyceric acid) is a first stable product of photosynthesis which under goes reduction. Six molecules of 3-PGA is reduced to six molecules of a chemical compound called glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). In this conversion; six molecules of both ATP and NADPH are used. In this reduction reaction, there is gain of electrons by 3-PGA. NADPH is oxidized to NADP+ to give elections and energy is given by ATP.

elena55 [62]

Answer: d. All of the above are correct.

Explanation: Natural resources are resources provided by nature. They occur in nature without manmade interference. Natural resources include mineral deposits, land water bodies and the atmosphere. These resources are utilized by man for economic, social and educational purposes. Natural resources can be renewable or nonrenewable resources such as water are renewed by rainfall. Heavy manmade activities such as industrialization, war or natural disasters can deplete these resources.

Who was responsible for medical records before 1928?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The physical medical record belongs to the physician who created and the facility in which the record was created. The information gathered within the original medical record is owned by the patient. That is why patients are allowed a COPY of their medical record, but not the original document.

Hope it helps you.
