The potential risk of connecting preserved areas with movement corridors. Introduction: Ecosystem is defined as the interaction between the living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) components present in the environment. These interactions are important for the proper flow of nutrients and energy in a system. Different organisms of the ecosystem contribute in a different way and richness or absence of any one species have a great effect on the functioning of the ecosystem. So conservationists try to maintain the composition of an ecosystem. The study of the arrangement of communities and ecosystems in a geographical area is called as landscape ecology.

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
