| a. | What type(s) of DNA repair system is (are) most likely to be involved in repairing the damage caused by exposure of DNA to aflatoxin B1? |
| b. | Recent evidence suggests that the adduct of guanine and aflatoxin B1 can attack the bond that connects it to deoxyribose; this liberates the adducted base, forming an apurinic site. How does this new information change your answer to part (a)? |

Once the microbial load is so high that it poses a hazard to human health, the food item is no longer considered safe (expired). Generally a load of x50,000 bacteria/gram is considered unsafe. Your task is to determine the microbial growth curves for MicroYo, a new brand of yogurt. The growth is determined by sampling the yogurt and growing the bacterial isolates in broth culture which is then serially diluted by a total of x10,000 and inoculated onto standard petri plates of nutrient agar. The following colony counts are measured: Time (days) MicroYo colony count# 1 1 4 1 12 2 16 20 4 7 What day should you recommend expiring the yogurt (the last possible date before the microbial load is unsafe). 12 4 20 16arrow_forward
