b. During peptidoglycan synthesis, removal of a phosphate group from bactoprenel pyrophosphate is inhibited. What is the immediate outcome? What does this mean for cell wall synthesis? Which antibiotic works via this mechanism? ( c. Bacterium Y is photosynthetic. You want to decrease the ability of Bacterium Y to produce glucose through photosynthesis. Explain how you could manipulate the light reactions of photosynthesis to decrease glucose production during the dark reactions in Bacterium Y. Include the name of the pathway that makes glucose during the dark reactions, which/how molecules from the light reactions are used in this pathway, and what specific steps of this pathway would be affected by your manipulations. c. There has been a recent outbreak of a bacterial infection in humans that causes high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. You identify the cause of this infection as a pathogenic Gram- negative bacterium called Bacterium Q, or, more specifically, the Q toxin secreted by this bacterium. Make a hypothesis about the type of secretion system this pathogen has and explain how this secretion system works to secrete Q toxin.
