Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 5PDQ
When Avery and his colleagues had obtained what was concluded to be the transforming factor from the IIIS virulent cells, they treated the fraction with proteases, ribonuclease, and deoxyribonuclease, followed by the assay for retention or loss of transforming ability. What were the purpose and results of these experiments? What conclusions were drawn?

You got an opportunity to join a professor lab who is working in-vivo model and specifically looking at the dysregulation of mitochondria in liver. He asked you to isolate mitochondria from a Rat liver and placed in an assay medium. Based on the knowledge you gain in this course so far, please answer the following questions:
a) Which technique will you use to isolate mitochondria?
b) What happens to the pH of the medium when the medium is kept anaerobic?
c) What happens when O2-saturated saline is added to the mixture?
In a process of production of a recombinant protein by E. coli cells, it was observed accumulation of acetate in the culture medium. In this situation, it can be said that:
(a) certainly the process in question was being conducted in anaerobiosis
(B).Acetate accumulation is advantageous for the process as the acetate formation reaction generates 1 molecule of ATP
(c)Knowing that decreasing the temperature of the process causes a reduction in the rate of glycolysis, this could be a strategy to reduce the accumulation of acetate
(d).the acetate formed can be re-assimilated by the cell if the glyoxylate pathway is activated at some point in the culture
As shown , several medical agents are now commercially produced by genetically engineered microorganisms. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of making these agents this way.
