The recovery of the world from tuberculosis, if all transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from one person to another were stopped. Introduction: Tuberculosis is a chronic disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis . It is a rod-shapedbacillus. This bacterium is very slow growing and has a generation time of about more than 16 hours. A person suffering from this disease faces instant weight loss, chronic fever, production of sputum. The pathogen responsible for this disease colonizes in the alveoli of the patient and causes inflammatory reactions. The bacteria reach to the lungs, lymph node, and other tissues of the body and grow over there.

Molecular Biology Please help with question. thank you You are studying the expression of the lac operon. You have isolated mutants as described below. In the presence of glucose, explain/describe what would happen, for each mutant, to the expression of the lac operon when you add lactose AND what would happen when the bacteria has used up all of the lactose (if the mutant is able to use lactose).5. Mutations in the lac operator that strengthen the binding of the lac repressor 200 fold 6. Mutations in the promoter that prevent binding of RNA polymerase 7. Mutations in CRP/CAP protein that prevent binding of cAMP8. Mutations in sigma factor that prevent binding of sigma to core RNA polymerase

Molecular Biology Please help and there is an attached image. Thank you. A bacteria has a gene whose protein/enzyme product is involved with the synthesis of a lipid necessary for the synthesis of the cell membrane. Expression of this gene requires the binding of a protein (called ACT) to a control sequence (called INC) next to the promoter. A. Is the expression/regulation of this gene an example of induction or repression?Please explain:B. Is this expression/regulation an example of positive or negative control?C. When the lipid is supplied in the media, the expression of the enzyme is turned off.Describe one likely mechanism for how this “turn off” is accomplished.
