Systemic fungal infections (e.g. Candida and Cryptococcus) and tuberculosis (Mycobacterium) are on the rise. One of the reasons

these organisms have high virulence is that they fare better following macrophage phagocytosis than other microorganisms. Phagocytosis activates the glyoxylate cycle in fungi and mycobacteria, allowing them to use two-carbon substrates to sustain growth in an otherwise nutrient-poor environment of the phagolysosome.
a) Suggest some likely molecules that could be processed through the glyoxylate cycle in this circumstance.

b) What enzymes are unique for this cycle?

c) Does the glyoxylate cycle exist in animals? Why?

Answer:

a) the molecules can be found in the picture below

b) (i) isocitrate lyase ( isocitrate to glyoxylate)

   (ii) malate synthase (glyoxylate to malate)

c)  Glyoxylate cycle do no exist in animals

Explanation:

b) in the glyoxylate cycle isocitrate lyase helps in conversion of  isocitrate to glyoxylate. Also, helps in conversion of glyoxylate to malate by using malate synthase.

c)   Glyoxylate cycle do no exist in animals, it only exist in plants and bacteria. This is because they can produce glucose from acetyl-CoA in required amounts.They have the ability to change acetyl-CoA from fat into glucose. But in animals, this mechanism is not possible.

Why is it important to avoid planting the same crop in the same field year after year
4vir4ik [10]
Planting the same crop in the same place each year zaps nutrients from the earth and leaves soil weak and unable to support healthy plant growth. Because soil structure and quality is so poor, farmers are forced to use chemical fertilizers to encourage plant growth and fruit production.

<em>Eschericia coli</em> belongs to a group of bacteria generally referred to as fecal coliforms because they are of fecal origin.

<em>Hence, their common mode of transmission is through fecal to oral routes such as fecal contaminated food, water and any other substance that passes through the mouth.</em>

<em>E. coli </em>infections can be treated using suitable antibiotics.
