Answer:
Antibodies
Explanation:
Bordetella pertussis is an obligate human pathogen and is the etiological agent of whooping cough. It is known to be an opportunistic organism.
The pathogenic mechanism of Bordetella pertussis is also known as virulence factor. These virulence factors are known to include adhesins such as filamentous haemagglutinin, fimbriae and pertactin, which allow B. pertussis to bind to ciliated epithelial cells in the upper respiratory tract.
It is known to be the agent of whooping cough, a highly contagious respiratory disease, dramatic for infants and also for elderly and pregnant women.
In this case, the antibodies will be the response that is uniquely directed against the organism. It is said earlier that this organism is an opportunistic one, this means that it causes infection when the immunity is down. So, when the immunity is empowered , it will definitely fight against the organism
Answer:
The bacteria were growing through fermentation process.
Explanation:
Cyanide have the ability to prevent the growth of microbes, and that is why it usually added to paints that want to be applied to places where the growth of microbes will be harmful to people.
The ships' hull where ballast water is been stored needed to be painted with cyanide to prevent the growth of microbes.
It should be noted that, anaerobic microbes have the ability to reduce cyanide compound through a process known as submerged fermentation.
In the case of ships' hull, the bacteria growing on the hull were anaerobic, which means, they carried out their activities in the absence of oxygen.
