Transformation is a process in which bacteria take up new DNA released by dead cells and integrate it into their own genomes (se

e Chapter 9). In Streptococcus pneumoniae (which causes many cases of pneumonia, inner-ear infections, and meningitis), the ability to carry out transformation requires from 105 to 124 genes, collectively termed the com regulon. The com regulon is activated in response to a protein called competence-stimulating peptide (CSP), which is produced by the bacteria and exported into the surrounding medium. When enough CSP accumulates, it attaches to a receptor on the bacterial cell membrane, which then activates a regulator protein that stimulates the transcription of genes within the com regulon and sets in motion a series of reactions that ultimately result in transformation. Does the com regulon in S. pneumoniae exhibit positive or negative control

Answer:

Positive (inducible)

Explanation:

Increased levels of CSP induce the receptor to stimulate transcriptional activator functions, which allow gene expression to occur similar to what happens in positive inducible.
