Question
Chapter 19.5, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
A microbial mat is the multilayered microorganism sheet that mainly includes Archaea and Bacteria and it extremely a thick biofilm. The microbial mat are built by chemolithotrophic or phototrophic bacteria. It is developed in the geothermal or aquatic hyper saline environments. The layered microbial communities can be numerous centimeters thick and this layer is composed of species of various microbial guilds whose activity is controlled by the availability of light and other

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell.
