For the study of alanine production by a recombinant strain of E. coli, cultivation was carried out in a benchtop bioreactor with 4.5 L of culture medium, using glucose as a limiting substrate. During the cultivation, there was no lag phase and the cells showed exponential growth for 5 hours. The following table presents the results of the analysis of ammonia and glucose consumption, and alanine accumulation throughout the cultivation. Knowing that 500 mL of a cell suspension at a concentration of 5.0 g/L (inoculum) was added to the 4.5 L of medium in the reactor and that the YX/NH3 previously determined was 7.5, calculate:a) the maximum specific growth rateb) YX/S and YP/S yield factorsc) How long would it take to reach Cx = 30 g/L if the cells continued with the exponential growth profile until the end of the culture (without nutrient deprivation or any type of inhibition)?d) Describe how the mathematical treatment of the data should be done to determine the type of product formation…
A phenylgalactoside-type compound, which yields galactose when enzymatically cleaved, was added as the sole carbon source to petri dishes containing E. coli culture medium. E. coli can utilize galactose for growth. Each of the following bacterial strains was plated on this medium and scored for growth after 1-2 days. Growth Genotype lacz+ lacI+ lacz+ lacIs lacz+ lacl- + oc lacZ+ lacI+ + a) What do you conclude about this compound with respect to its ability to be cleaved by ß- galactosidase?

A series of auxotrophic mutants were isolated in Neurospora. Examination of fungi containing these mutations revealed that they grew on minimal medium to which various compounds (A, B, C, D) were added; growth responses to each of the four compounds are presented in the following table. Give the order of compounds A, B, C, and D in a biochemical pathway. Outline a biochemical pathway that includes these four compounds and indicate which step in the pathway is affected by each of the mutations.

Under cellular conditions, dATP can be oxidized to its 2-hydroxy form, which is a substrate for an enzyme that converts 2-OH-dATP to 2-OH-dAMP + PPi. Explain why compounds that inhibit the activity of this enzyme would be eff ective anticancer agents.
One of the early results shows that the post-centrifugation pellet of encapsulated cells also contains EA1 and/or Sap. Why is this not proof that Bacillus anthracis cells have both an S-layer and a capsule simultaneously? I need help finding the answer in the article and explain in short answer link to article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC106848/
Your colleague handed you a novel strain of coli that is purifying a protein with a 6xHisTag; they claim it is superior to the TOP10 cells you have been using. But even with a larger culture size, you discover that your protein yield—using the same Ni-NTA column—is quite low. You discover that the novel strain of Escherichia coli generates an unusually high quantity of dicarboxylic acids, a byproduct of the citric acid cycle that is recognized for its ability to function as an all-purpose metal chelator. What do you think the issue is with purifying IMAC protein with this new strain of E. coli?

You have several different media onto which you inoculated eight strains of yeast (A-H). The media include a rich medium, an unsupplemented minimal medium, and minimal media each supplemented with one vitamin. Of the yeast strains, one is a prototroph and seven are auxotrophs for a vitamin. After overnight incubation, the following results were observed (tan patches represent growth): D plate 1 (A) B DE F GH plate 5 plate 4 plate 6 Which plate contains an unsupplemented minimal medium? [Select] Which plate contains a rich medium? [Select] plate 2 Which strain is a prototroph? [Select] Strain E is an auxotroph for niacin. Which plate reveals this specific auxotrophy? [ Select] plate 3 plate 7 One strain is an auxotroph for both choline and pantothenic acid. Which one is this most likely to be? [Select]
After testing the potency of different β-lactamase inhibitors against purified OXA-M290 enzyme, the antimicrobial activity of combinations of β-lactam antibiotics and β-lactamase inhibitors is tested against the E. coli KGH1 strain that produces OXA-M290. The results of these studies can be used to identify the best antibiotic to treat an infection caused by this E. coli strain. Broth microdilution tests are carried out with a panel of β-lactam antibiotics and β-lactamase inhibitors to determine their MICs against E. coli KGH1. These tests are carried out in a 96-well microplate. Three β-lactam antibiotics (amoxicillin, ceftazidime, and ertapenem) and three β-lactamase inhibitors (sulbactam, tazobactam, and vaborbactam) are tested. The rows in the microplate correspond to the following antibiotics and inhibitors: Row A: amoxicillinRow B: amoxicillin + sulbactamRow C: ceftazidimeRow D: ceftazidime + sulbactamRow E: ertapenemRow F: ertapenem + sulbactamRow G: ertapenem + tazobactamRow H:…

E. coli has a doubling time of 0.345 hours at 37 0C. Starting with 1 milligram of cells, assuming a lag phase of 30 minutes and a stationary phase of 30 minutes, what number of cells would you expect at the end of 13h, assuming that besides the lag and stationary phases the culture is continuously in exponential phase. Assume that ln (2) = 0.69 and that the mass of a single cell is 10^(-12) g.
