Answer:
a) Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.
Explanation:
Kingdom is the broadest taxonomic category after domain as proposed by Linnaeus. The Linnaean hierarchy of taxon identifies species as the most specific taxon that include only those organisms that can interbreed to produce the fertile progeny.
Several species with some common features are placed in same genus while related genera are placed in same family. Likewise, related families are placed in same order and the related orders are placed in same phylum.
Hence, kingdom is the least specific or broadest taxon that includes all the related phyla while species is the most specific taxon that include only the organisms that can interbreed.
Answer:
<h2>Reduced ability to colonize the mammalian gut.</h2>
Explanation:
The Entner-Doudoroff Pathway (ED Pathway) is a metabolic pathway that is most notably in Gram-negative bacteria, some + bacteria and archaea. Glucose is the starting molecuke in the ED pathway and through a series of enzyme assisted chemical reactions it is catabolized into pyruvate.
Those mutants of E. coli lacking a key enzyme in Entner-Doudoroff (ED Pathway)Pathway leads to reduced ability to colonize the mammalian gut.
