From chapter 15 of Modern Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology(Okafor, N and okeke, C.B.2018) answer these under the chapter. List methods of amino acid production and Describe the properties of Corynebacterium glutamicum which make it a novel organism for glutamic acid production.
The highly pathogenic anaerobic bacterium Clostridium perfringens is responsible for gas gangrene, a condition in which animal tissue structure is destroyed. This bacterium secretes an enzyme that efficiently catalyzes the hydrolysis of the peptide bond indicated in red: where X and Y are any of the 20 common amino acids. How does the secretion of this enzyme contribute to the invasiveness of this bacterium in human tissues? Why does thisenzyme not affect the bacterium itself?
