Explain how an organism that possesses the citrate lyase enzyme

Biology
1 answer:
TiliK225 [7]3 years ago

  <span>Simmon’s Citrate agar is used to determine an organism’s ability to use citrate as a sole carbon source.Simon’s citrate agar is a defined medium in which sodium citrate is the sole carbon source, and ammonium is the sole nitrogen source. Bromothymol blue (BTB) is included as a pH indicator 
The medium is initially at pH 6.9, at which BTB is green; at a pH greater than 7.6 BTB turns a deep blue. The pH change is induced by CO2, which is given off as a by-product of citrate utilization. When it reacts with Na and H2O in the agar it raises the pH above 7.6 

The organism must contain the enzyme citrase to degrade citrate 

(citrase) 
Citrate --------->CO2 + Na HCO + H2O 
I
(blue color change) 

Now, coming to how a citrate test may give false results. There are only 2 ways that can happen. 
- Failure to incubate with loose caps may result in a false-negative results. 
- Avoid using a large inoculum to streak the strand; an inoculum that is too heavy may result in a false-positive test. </span>

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Cloning may be defined as the process by which the genetically identified individual of the organism can be created artifically or naturally. Aseual reproduction results in the formation of clone.

The microsatellite analysis is used to prove that snuppy is a clone. Microsatellites are the highly variable DNA sequences repeats that has variable loci and considered at population level. The two alleles are possible for the one microsatellite locus. After comparing the alleles it has been found that snuppy has exactly the same genetic material as the surrogate mother, afghan. This completely determines that snuppy is a clone of afgan.

Which of the following bacterial cells would best be able to survive an attack by an antibiotic?
Goryan [66]

Answer:

c. A bacterial cell that lacked receptors on its surface for that antibiotic

Explanation:

If the bacteria lacks the receptors on its surface meant for that antibiotic then it will be best defense for the survival of that bacteria. It is receptors which interact with the antibiotic so as to permit it inside the cell. Therefore, in the absence of receptors, it doesn't matter how much antibiotic is lying in the external environment of that bacteria, the antibiotic will not be able to enter the bacterial cell to kill it. Hence, the bacteria will be able to survive easily.
