Answer& explanation:

The mechanism of action of chloramphenicol can be explained as follows:

Chloramphenicol binds to the 50S subunit of the ribosome, inhibiting the protein synthesis of the bacteria, thus having bacteriostatic action (inhibiting the growth of bacteria, preventing their proliferation).

In addition, chloramphenicol can be bactericidal (destroys bacteria) when in high concentrations, or when used against highly sensitive microorganisms, such as <em>Haemophilus influenzae</em> and <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em>. The mechanism of action for these bacteria, however, is not yet elucidated.

A bacterium that you isolated from pond water appears to use light for energy. Based upon this information, you inoculate the or
FinnZ [79.3K]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  • there was no sulfur compound added to the medium, that could be used as an electron donor.
  • no oxygen was added to the medium so the organism died.
  • there is some inhibitory chemical that is preventing the growth of the bacterium.
  • you were using the wrong type of sunlight as the energy source for the bacterium.

Answer:

There was no sulfur compound added to the medium, that could be used as an electron donor.

Explanation:

In the given question, the bacteria which are found in the pond uses light energy to use carbon dioxide and form the glucose molecule. These bacteria are known as phototrophic bacteria.

The process of photosynthesis requires an electron donor and an electron acceptor to use molecule.

The organism when provided the light and carbon dioxide artificially in a culture, the bacteria were not able to grow. The reason for this could be accounted as that there was no electron donor found in the media like sulfur which could donate the electron during the chain reaction.

Thus, the selected option is correct.
