Industrial Processes

Industrial processes result in the manufacturing of products (biological products, such as enzymes, medicine) on a large scale using different methods, such as physical and chemical procedures. Few products such as pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, food items, etc., involve microbes and their enzymes. Such processes are termed industrial biological processes. Microbiology and biotechnology enable us to utilize the ability of microorganisms to produce enzymes, primary metabolites, and secondary metabolites, which in turn help to produce the desired products.

The ribosome is the target for many important antibiotics. These drugs must discriminate between bacterial and eukaryotic ribosomes to achieve drug specificity and toxicity. For the two common antibiotics below, what is their mechanism of action and why are they more toxic to bacteria than eukaryotes? a) Tetracycline b) Erythromycin
Eubacterial ribosomes can be inactivated by all of the following antibiotics except: chloramphenicol diphtheria toxin erythromycin streptomycin tetracycline
Penicillin does not directly kill bacteria. Why, then is it considered to be bacteriocidal?
Changes in the bacterial genome can lead to resistance to antimicrobialdrugs. what the different ways that these changes in the DNA occur?
Chlamydia are pathogenic bacteria that must be grown within a eukaryotic host cell. They rely on the host cell for many nutrients, including nucleotides, lipids, and amino acids. It is thus no surprise that when grown in co-culture with a host depleted of any of these metabolites, chlamydial growth declines. However, high levels of certain amino acids also inhibit chlamydial growth. Specifically, the amino acids leucine, isoleucine, methionine, and phenylalanine slow down the growth by inhibiting the amino acid transporter called BrnQ. On the other hand, if valine is present in the medium these amino acids have no effect on BrnQ. Discuss how this might be possible

Both ethanol and trimethyldodecylammonium chloride are active ingredients in cleaning products used to disinfect. Both will inactivate coronaviruses by a similar mechanism of action. Describe that mechanism of action and why both chemicals are able to cause it. (Reminder: coronaviruses are "lipid envelope" viruses.) Consider the physical properties of these compounds to answer the following question: why might you choose to use a cleaning product with one of these active ingredients over the other?
Most antibacterial drugs disrupt or destroy prokaryotic cellular structures or processes that are different than those of eukaryotic cells or may not even be present in eukaryotic cells. List and describe at least three prokaryotic cellular features that could be targeted to inhibit or kill a bacterial pathogen without harming its eukaryotic host.
The highly pathogenic anaerobic bacterium Clostridium perfringens is responsible for gas gangrene, a condition in which animal tissue structure is destroyed. This bacterium secretes an enzyme that efficiently catalyzes the hydrolysis of the peptide bond indicated in red: where X and Y are any of the 20 common amino acids. How does the secretion of this enzyme contribute to the invasiveness of this bacterium in human tissues? Why does thisenzyme not affect the bacterium itself?
Which of the following is a true statement about the aminoglycosides? Multiple Choice They are a group of bacteriostatic antibiotics. Their antibacterial spectrum mainly includes gram-positive bacilli. They are active against anaerobic organisms. They cause irreversible inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis.
