The levels of corticosterone after the release after a restraint is different in habituated and nonhabituated penguins. Corticosterone levels of both the penguins when they were captured, were similar. However, after the release, the level differed. Introduction: Corticosterone is a glucocorticoid, major stress hormone, present in many species of amphibians, reptiles, rodents, and birds, and it is mainly involved in energy regulation, immune reactions, and stress responses. The level of corticosterone differs in both the habituated and nonhabituated penguins on the basis of response levels. Stress hormones are released in the response to a threat. The physiological and behavioral mechanism developed in penguins is due to an evolutionary mechanism. Habituated penguins do not perceive humans as a threat, but nonhabituated perceive humans as a threat.

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
