Chapter 20, Problem 14TYU
Summary Introduction
To analyze: The thermostable enzymes and the various functions performed by them.
Introduction: Microorganisms can be found in single-celled form or as a colony of cells in a vast variety of habitats ranging from deep inside the sea, to the top of a mountain, to hot springs, to cold glaciers, to desserts, and so on. The physical and biochemically evolved in such a way that is able to survive in favorable to extreme conditions.

Students have asked these similar questions
Enzymatic activity is rapidly destroyed at physiologically high temperatures. How do you reconcile this observation with the existence of bacteria and algae that grow in hot springs where the temperature may be as high as 73 °C?
In one final experiment, you add all the necessary components and program the thermocycler to cycle under the following temperatures
Denaturation 95 degrees, 30 seconds, Annealing 65 degrees, 30 seconds, Elongation 68 degrees 30 seconds
You find out that the third time's the charm, but now you have many small incomplete fragments instead. What happened and how did you fix it?
Which two enzyme curves would be generated from a themophilic bacteria that lives in a strongly acid environment?
Please provide a supportive statement about why you picked each of the two curves you picked. Your answer should
include information from the graphs.

Despite the plant having several process steps, Rasta is adamant that the dominant process step is biological treatment which happens in a 500 m3 bioreactor. The water flows to the bioreactor at a rate of 1.6m3/minute. The conditions inside the bioreactor favor extreme production of nitrogen (N), from the degradation of amino acids found in the wastewater, during the first half of each day. By midday the concentration of nitrogen in the bioreactor is almost always 2 mg/L. Since nitrogen is regulated, Rasta must then get the concentration down to half of this concentration within one hour. The influent (into the bioreactor) has no nitrogen. Rasta has two alternatives to facilitate the process. The first option is to increase the throughput rate by 150%. The second option is to keep the normal throughput rate and add an adsorbent “pillow” that removes nitrogen with a rate of 0.01/minute. Can…arrow_forward
