Sponges

They are included in phylum porifera. It is a simple animal with no mouth, heart or muscles. It is sessile animal containing many pores and cells for filter feeding. Asymmetrical.

Sponges and common bath sponge.

Cnidarians

They are aquatic animals. Coelom is absent. They contain cnidocyte cells to capture prey. Radial symmetry.

Sea anemone, jellyfish, corals and Obelia.

Flatworms

Included in phylum Platyhelminthes. No body cavity. Bilateral symmetry.

Planaria and tape worms.

Nematodes

They have complete digestive systems, are free living and parasitic both. Bilateral symmetry.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for?  3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
