(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason that why it is simpler strategy than the reverse engineering E. coli to be more ethanol tolerant.

Introduction:

“Anaerobic harvest” of food energy is known as fermentation. This condition occurs in the absence of oxygen. In humans, the process of fermentation relies on the first stage that is glycolysis of the cellular respiration. This process allows production of two molecules of ATP from one glucose molecule which is less in comparison to the ATP molecules produced by cellular respiration. Whereas in microorganisms, this process is the primary means of ATP production by break down of organic nutrients in the absence of oxygen.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The chemical transformation catalyzed by each of three ara enzymes.

Introduction:

The ara genes produce enzymes that convert L-arabinose into L-xylulose-5-phosphate. This is a multistep reaction which includes three different enzymes encoded by different ara genes.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The name of the sugar which is converted from arabinose by three ara enzymes.

Introduction:

The ara genes produce three different enzymes encoded by different ara genes that is used to convert L-arabinose .

(d)

Summary Introduction

To describe: The overall pathway for the fermentation of six molecules of arabinose to ethanol.

Introduction:

“Anaerobic harvest” of food energy is known as fermentation. This is a metabolic process carried out mainly by yeast and some bacteria. They convert sugar into carbon dioxide and ethanol.

(e1)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The stoichiometry of the fermentation of six molecules of arabinose to ethanol and CO2.

Introduction:

“Anaerobic harvest” of food energy is known as fermentation. This is a metabolic process carried out mainly by yeast and some bacteria. They convert sugar into carbon dioxide and ethanol.

(e2)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of ATP molecules that would be generated in this reaction.

Introduction:

“Anaerobic harvest” of food energy is known as fermentation. This is a metabolic process carried out mainly by yeast and some bacteria. They convert sugar into carbon dioxide and ethanol.

(f)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason that production of 1 ATP per molecule of arabinose is less beneficial for bacterium but better for production of ethanol.

Introduction:

“Anaerobic harvest” of food energy is known as fermentation. This is a metabolic process carried out mainly by yeast and some bacteria. They convert sugar into carbon dioxide and ethanol.

(g)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The additional enzymes that would allow Z. mobilis to use xylose as well as arabinose to produce ethanol.

Introduction:

“Anaerobic harvest” of food energy is known as fermentation. This is a metabolic process carried out mainly by yeast and some bacteria. They convert sugar into carbon dioxide and ethanol.

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to form acetyl CoA. E₁, E2, and E3 are abbreviations for the enzymes of the complex. Classify the enzyme names, prosthetic groups, and reactions as E1, E2, or E3. E₁ E2 Answer Bank E3 transfer of electrons to FAD and then to NAD+ transfer of acetyl group to coenzyme A formation of hydroxyethyl-TPP hydroxyethyl group transferred to lipoamide thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) FAD lipoamide dihydrolipoyl transacetylase pyruvate dehydrogenase dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase
Patients with pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency show high levels of lactic acid in the blood. However, in some cases, treatment with dichloroacetate (DCA), which inhibits the kinase associated with the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, lowers lactic acid levels. How does DCA act to stimulate pyruvate dehydrogenase activity? DCA activates pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase. DCA increases phosphorylation levels of pyruvate dehydrogenase. DCA inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase. ODCA activates pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase. What does this suggest about pyruvate dehydrogenase activity in patients who respond to DCA? The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is active only when phosphorylated by the kinase. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is active only in the presence of the kinase. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is completely inactive. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex displays some residual activity.
