How will you exploit prokaryotes to allow you to survive in extreme conditions?
ANSWER :
The prokaryotic organisms have se specific characteristic features that enable them to survive in extreme conditions :
1. The prokaryotes have ability to asexually reproduce rapidly via binary fission and make endospores that allow them to survive longer period in unfavourable condition.
2. Most of the prokaryotic organisms have cell wall outer to their plasma membrane which also protect them degradation from some toxic chemicals.
3. Most of the prokaryotes have extrachromosomal factors (plasmids) in their cytoplasm, which performs the function to regulate different metabolic processes and provide resistance against several toxic chemicals or antibiotics.
How will you exploit prokaryotes to allow you to survive in extreme conditions?
Notes 1. What are the key features of a plasmid. How will you exploit those features to make a recombinant protein? 2. You want to express a protein that makes cheese with jalapeño flavor. How will you do it? 3. How do bacteria acquire Antibiotic resistance? 4. How will you treat a bacterial disease using bacteriophages? 5. How does blue/white screening work? How will you exploit this to clone genes of interest? 6. How do antibiotics and antibiotic resistance influence...
What type of adaptations do prokaryotes have that allow them to survive in Estuaries?
1.Pre-Lab Questions What are two ways that some prokaryotes are able to survive in extreme environments? Describe three ways that microorganisms in soil contribute to the ecosystem as a whole. Give two examples of genera that produce endospores, and explain why they are important in human health. What are coliforms? Why are they important in assuring water quality? Why is E. coli the indicator bacterium for fecal contamination? 2.Experiment 1: Bacterial Isolation from Soil Samples Post-Lab Questions Observe the two...
What are the major problems faced by Acidophiles? How do the extreme conditions affect the following in Acidophiles: cell wall construction/components, membrane components and fatty acid structure, transport of materials in/out of the cell, protein/enzyme structure, and metabolism (especially the electron transport chain). Explain 3 of these in-depth. Find one interesting organism (eubacteria or archaeabacteria) from the acidophile group and describe where they live and how they survive in this environment.
How to exploit opportunities? If you exploit something, you use it well, and achieve something or gain an advantage from it.
Give an example of an organism and its adaptation to an extreme environmental condition (for example, extreme cold, heat, low water or nutrient availability, disturbance to its habitat). For full credit, describe how the adaptation allows the organism to survive in those conditions.
Why we should not allow the Oil & Gas industry to explore, exploit and extract oil and gas deposits found in federal lands.
5. Some prokaryotes lack a cell wall how do they survive in the environment? (2) 6. What if the important biological activity of the lipid A component of the LPS? (2) 7. What are the two main differences between peptidoglycan in Bacteria and pseudomurein in Archaea? (2) 8. Most Archaea have a cell wall called the S-layer, what is it made from, where is it always found and how does it function? (3) 9. What is the difference between a...
2. Know how to graphically analyze how different bacteria types would survive under specific conditions. For example, what would an obligate anaerobe logarithmic growth line look like in the presence of oxygen?
