Chapter 36.2, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
Two experiments to test the hypothesis that bacterium corn stunt spiroplasma inhibits gibberellin synthesis in corn plants.
Introduction:
The bacterium corn stunt spiroplasma infects corn plants and causes a significant reduction in the growth of plant leading to dwarf plants. These plants appear similar to a genetically dwarf corn plant. It was hypothesized that the bacterium inhibits gibberellin synthesis in plants.

Ser.: Mater. Sci. Eng. 833 012014 STATE THE HYPOTHESIS (In if-then format): Plants, when extracted, can produce dyes and the extracts have been used for different purposes such as the textile or food industry [1]. One potential plant that can be used as a natural dye is dragon fruit (Hylocereus cacti) or by another name Pitaya. Wybraniec and coworkers reported that dragon fruit has a potential as a source to produce red pigment and it's called betalains [2]. Betalain is a water-soluble pigment that gives color to flowers and fruits. Betalain pigments are divided into two groups, namely betacyanin which produces purplish red and betaxanthin which produce yellow-orange colors [2, 3]. In the dragon fruit peel, it is also containing pigments which are usually only discarded as food waste and have not been used optimally. This is very unfortunate because the fruit of the dragon fruit itself has…arrow_forwardChoose all that are correct regarding impeller type choice in bioreactors. O Marine type impellers are ideal for shear sensitive mammalian cells. O Marine type impellers are ideal for less shear sensitive yeast cells. O One function of the impeller is to mix the contents of the bioactor (e.g., nutirents). O None of these options are true. O Impeller type choice depends on the shear sensitivity of the target cells and the solution viscosity. Choose all that are true regarding the phases of cell growth in a bioreactor. O None of these options are true. O There will always be a death phase in the bioreactor, since some cells are dying throughout. O Higher variability in the bioreactor contents is associated with stationary phase. O Higher varaibility in the bioreactor contents is associated with exponential phase when the cells are growing most rapidly. O There will always be a lag phase of growth in a bioreactor since the cells need time to adjust to their new enviroment upon…arrow_forward

- Given this, if you used 6g of vitamin Z powder to make 20 ml of solution, what is the % concentration of this solution? (I gave the image since I don't know if that info is needed to solve this question.)It also gives a follow-up, if you can help here too: You work in a lab as a summer student. One of your tasks is to make sure that there is enough cell culture medium containing antibiotics to grow bacteria. One day you realize that there is only 5 ml of 10% Antibiotic stock solution in the freezer. You decide to use it all to prepare the working culture medium with 0.01% antibiotic. In the lab there is plenty of growth medium without antibiotics. (Note: dilution in medium is like dilution in water). You remember the equation to make dilutions of stock solutions. You usually use this formula to calculate the required volume of a stock solution, but you realize it can apply here as well, even though the unknown is the final volume. So, you make that dilution. Given that each bacterial…arrow_forwardOne way of identifying a drug target in a complex cellular extract is to use an affinity approach, i.e. fix the drug to a resin (agarose etc) and use it to "pull down "" the target from the extract.

Separate biochemical pathways synthesize the two pigments, as shown in pathways I and Il in the accompanying diagram. "White" refers to compounds that are not pigments (total lack of pigment results in a white petal). Red pigment forms from a yellow intermediate that is normally at a concentration loo kow to color petals. Bluc mixed with yellow makes green. Assume that no mutations are lethal. Pathway I.. White Blue Pathway I White, Yellow Red Pathway II White, White, A third pathway, whose compoundk do not contribute pelal pigmentation, normally docs not allfect the bluc and red pathways. However, if one of its intermediates (white3) should build up in concentration, it can be converted into the ycllow intermediate of the red pathway.
