Lysozyme attacks bacteria by ___________________ and is effective against _________________.

a)making holes in the bacterial membrane; Gram-negative bacteria

b)hydrolyzing the glycosidic bond between NAM and NAG; Gram-positive bacteria

c)making holes in the bacterial membrane; Gram-positive bacteria

d)hydrolyzing the glycosidic bond between NAM and NAG; Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria

e)making holes in the bacterial membrane; Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria

f)hydrolyzing the glycosidic bond between NAM and NAG; Gram-negative bacteria

Solutions

Expert Solution

The answer to this question is option B. Lysozyme hydrolyzes the glycosidic linkage between the N-acetyl glucosamine and N- Acetyl muramic acid and is effective against gram-positive bacteria.

A membrane is fouled with a layer of bacteria (a bioflim). The water permeability of the biofilm is 2 x 10-12 mol m s-1 m-2 atm-1 and is 21 μm thick. The membrane is 52 μm thick with a water permeability of 1 x 10-12 mol m s-1 m-2 atm-1. Neglect the convective mass transfer resistance as they are very small. The partial pressure of water of one side is 200 kPa and 101 kPa on the other. Calculate the...

One of the most successful attacks against wireless networks (WLAN) is the Evil Twin attack. The goal is to introduce an attacker-controlled wireless access point near the “known good” WLAN network. This access point will advertise the exact same SSID as the authorized WLAN. Wireless users may accidently connect to this malicious access point thinking it is part of their authorized network. Once the connection is established, the attacker can initiate a man-in-the-middle attack and capture or relay traffic while...
