The volume of E. coli added to each warm agar pour/virus mixture was originally100µL. After pre-testing the experiment, the instructions were modified for you to add 300µL of E. coli. Make an educated guess as to why the volume was increased.
You got an opportunity to join a professor lab who is working in-vivo model and specifically looking at the dysregulation of mitochondria in liver. He asked you to isolate mitochondria from a Rat liver and placed in an assay medium. Based on the knowledge you gain in this course so far, please answer the following questions:
a) Which technique will you use to isolate mitochondria?
b) What happens to the pH of the medium when the medium is kept anaerobic?
c) What happens when O2-saturated saline is added to the mixture?
You have isolated a beta-lactamase producing Staphylococcus aureus (not a MRSA strain) from an
infected surgical site on your patient.
If for genetic reasons, your patient is allergic to all antibiotics except beta-lactam antibiotics such as
ampicillin ( they can only take Beta-lactam antibiotics such as ampicillin), which strategy below
could
you use to treat this Staphylococcus aureus infection in your patient? Note different answers
compared to previous question.
give the patient erythromycin
can use a beta-lactamse resistant beta-lactam such as methicillin or oxacillin
O give the patient penicillin
give the patient an azole drug

- A graduate student was assaying LD50 (lethal dose 50%) of two temperature-sensitive Francisella tularensis strains in HeLa cells (human cell line). Both strains can infect humans and cause fatal tularemia if untreated, but it is difficult to obtain LD50 values in human subjects. The data below shows LD50 (lethal dose 50%) values of the strains in human cell culture. Can you predict the more virulent strain of the two human pathogens? Francisella tularensis strain A: LD50 @ 20°C= 100; LD50 @ 37°C= 1000 Francisella tularensis strain B: LD50 @ 20°C= 1000 LD 50 @ 37°C= 100 O It is not possible to determine the virulence of the two strains as human pathogens from the provided data Strain A and strain B are equally virulent as human pathogens, as they average out in virulence. O Strain A is more virulent than strain A as a human pathogen. O Strain B is more virulent than strain A as a human pathogen.arrow_forwardA graduate student was assaying LD50 (lethal dose 50%) of two temperature-sensitive Francisella tularensis strains in HeLa cells (human cell line).

- Bacillus thuringiensis makes toxins that kill insects. These toxins must be applied several times during the growth season to prevent insect damage. As an alternative to repeated applications, one strategy is to apply bacteria directly to leaves.However,B. thuringiensis does not survive very long in thefield. Other bacteria, such as Pseudomonas syringae, do survive.Propose a way to alter P. syringae so it could be used as an insecticide.Discuss advantages and disadvantages of this approach compared with the repeated applications of the toxins from B. thuringiensis.arrow_forwardTRY TO KEEP IN SHORT AND USE OWN WORD FOR THIS QUESTION You are studying a type of bacteria isolated from the acidic water runoff of a mining operation. You subject two batches of the same bacteria type to different environmental growth conditions. One batch is grown at pH 2, while the other is grown at pH 7. All other environmental parameters are kept identical between the two batches. You then collect their proteins and run a Western blot using an antibody that binds to a proton efflux pump protein (which actively expends energy to pump protons out of a cell). How would you characterize the information obtained in this experiment? What does it tell you, and why is that potentially valuable information?arrow_forwardIn a series of infection experiments, a researcher discovers that the ID50 value for the infectious bacterium Parasiticum mucoides is 2,000, and that the ID50 for another infectious bacterium, Donoteatum thisbacterium, is 150. Given these data, a person exposed to 1,000 bacteria of each type would be more likely to be infected by which bacterium? There is no way to know given the information provided Both infections are equally likely Donoteatum thisbacterium Parasiticum mucoidesarrow_forward
