Summary Introduction
The micF gene is a non-coding RNA gene that is involved in the stress response of E. coli and related bacteria. The term mic stands for mRNA-interfering complementary RNA. The outer membrane of the gram-negative bacteria possesses channels which are made up of porin proteins. OmpC and OmpF are the two important porins found in E. coli. Omp is referred to as outer membrane protein. The expression of these genes is regulated by the micF gene.

(Thestatement of the problem to be studied—effects of “excessivelipid ingestion”—is deliberately vague, and you should refine itby specifying and explaining an operational procedure.arrow_forward. Mutants of Neurospora crassa that lack carbamoyl phosphate syn- thetase I (CPS I) require arginine in the medium in order to grow, whereas mutants that lack carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase II (CPS II) require a pyrimidine, such as uracil. A priori, one would expect the active CPS II in the arginine mutants to provide sufficient carbamoyl phosphate for arginine synthesis, and the active CPS I in the pyrimidine mutants to "feed" the pyrimidine pathway. Explain these observations.arrow_forwarda. For the E.coli haploid genotype below, determine the phenotype for the following proteins.
