(2002) - How do marine bacteria produce light, why are they lumine- scent and can we employ bacterial bioluminescent in aquatic biotehnology? Oceanologia, 44 (3): 291-305.Wegrzyn, G. and Czyz, A. (2002) How do marine bacteria produce light, why are they luminescent, and can we ...
Can proteins be used to produce ATP in animals? If so, how? Why does a cell perform fermentation if it does not produce any ATP energy for the cell? Describe how ATP synthase produces ATP via chemiosmosis. What is the net ATP yield for bacteria?
Flagella would be of limited use if bacteria could not sense their environment - they might help disperse cells to new environments but energy would be better used if bacteria could sense where they were going and respond appropriately. The success of flagella is evident from their wide occurrence...
]. Other bacteria are what researchers call heterotrophs because they draw energy from existing organic matter for food (think dead leaves on the forest floor). The truth is, what might be appetizing to bacteria is probably repulsive to us. They've evolved to thrive on all sorts of things,...
When Reiter talks about how the cultivation of bacteria in bioreactors can be optimized, he is filled with enthusiasm. “Given the challenges of climate change, it is clear that alternatives to fossil resources are needed,” he says. “We are developing a technology that does not emit additiona...
In regards to endocytosis and exocytosis, how does a cell membrane recognize and let in some bacteria, while it keeps out other sorts of bacteria? Why do microbes produce chemicals that are inhibitory to other microbes? Describe the structure and composition of prokaryotic gram-positive and gram-...
On the other hand, compost-based earth batteries, often referred to by researchers asmicrobial fuel cells (MFC), produce electrical currents when bacteria break down organic matter in the compost and other types of waste. Researchers discovered that these earth batteries produce about0.5 to 1 volt...
After glucose metabolism, dietary carbohydrates produce energy and organic acids as metabolic by-products50. The acid-producing activity ofS. mutansis not only a critical factor contributing to its pathogenicity but also a crucial characteristic leading to dental caries. Bacteria enolase, an enzyme enc...
Describe how bacteria can be used as protein factories to produce human proteins. Protein: Protein is an essential nutrient required for a healthy diet. They are made from amino acids. They are found throughout the body in muscle, hair, bone, and skin. Fibrous, membrane, ...
This situation is similar to that observed on the present Earth where components of withered plants and dead bodies of animals are usually reused by presently living organisms after they have been degraded by various organisms, including bacteria. Formation of Proto-Metabolic Pathways for [GADV]-...
