Question
Chapter 5, Problem 30RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The total number of ATP broken down in the complete beta-oxidation of twenty-carbon-long fatty acid.
Introduction:
Triglycerides or fats are hydrolyzed into fatty acids and glycerol molecules in a process called lipolysis. The fatty acids are further broken down into acetyl coenzymes and the process is termed as beta-oxidation of fatty acids. The process occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells while in prokaryotes, it occurs in the cytosol.

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.

According to the CDC on Feb 26*: "A multistate outbreak of HPAI A(H5N1) bird flu in dairy cows was first reported on March 25, 2024. This is the first time that these bird flu viruses had been found in cows. In the United States, since 2022, USDA has reported HPAI A(H5N1) virus detections in more than 200 mammals." List and describe two mechanisms that could lead to this H5N1 influenza strain evolving to spread in human: Mechanisms 1: Mechanisms 2: For the mutations to results in a human epidered they would need to change how the virus interacts with the human host.
