• What was your hypothesis for selection on seed traits?
Larger seeds will be grabbed more due to being more visible. Smaller seeds will blend in more with the small rocks.

• What was your hypothesis for selection on seeds and changing the environment?
Larger seed size will be easier to see and grab since the smaller seeds will go deep in the ground. (grass environment – increase visibility)

• What was your hypothesis for selection and a small population of seeds?
Birds will different abilities to collect different seed size. Smaller population will effect the rate of change

• What was your hypothesis for selection on beak traits?
Chopsticks will be easier to grab seeds because the chopsticks will be able to have a better grip on the wings.

Explain one other method (besides electrophoresis) that could be used to purify proteins and compare it to Nickel IMAC?

P.S. Need to explain one method to separate and purify proteins but not electrophoresis, as we have done that in class.

Bacterial Quorum Sensing, Pathogenicity Islands, and Secretion Systems

1.bacterial quorum sensing may play a role in pathogenicity by:

a) Promoting initial colonization of a new host;

b) Enabling the bacterium to persist within that host; and

c) Allowing some of the bacteria to spread to a new location within a host or to a new host.

Question: Briefly describe how the ability to produce a type 3 secretion system might play a role in a pathogen colonizing the body and causing an infection.

The pathogen can be a bacteria, fungus, protozoa, or virus. In addition to the article, information to include in the paper should include, morphology, gram stain characteristics, virulence factors, susceptibility to antibiotics, host cells, nutritional needs, growth conditions, mechanisms used to evade the immune system and invasion into the host(s), interactions with the hosts and diseases caused and affected body systems. Additionally, students should explain symptoms when the pathogen infects a host, as well as a diagnosis and the therapeutic intervention needed after infection. You may also add information on statistics related to infection (epidemiology) and any new research findings related to the pathogen. Writing Requirements (APA format) I chose Toxoplasmic as my pathogen

Lipase is a versatile industrial enzyme that can be applied to various industries. It is one of the most important classes of hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of triacylglycerol to diacylglycerol, fatty acids and glycerol. You are a bioprocess engineer assigned by your superior to work with a biotechnologist to provide a proposal on the upstream and downstream processing of microbial lipase targeted to the biodiesel processing application. To begin the project, you are required to present a preliminary investigation report on the following. a. Select a suitable microorganism and a lipid carbon source that can be applied to produce microbial lipase for the targeted application economically at industrial scale with justifications.

I have found a microorganism which can produce Microbial Lipase for biodiesel process application economically at industrial scale by doing research. I found out an article of microorganism name 'Streptomyces sp CS 326'.

The heading of the article says 'A neutral lipase applicable in biodiesel production from a newly isolated Streptomyces sp CS 326.'

what is meant by 'neutral lipase'? Is it different from Microbial lipase? And can i use this microorganism 'Streptomyces sp CS 326' for the production of Microbial lipase for biodiesel process application?

After visiting a dairy farm one summer afternoon in Utah, three members of a family develop fever, abdominal cramping and diarrhea with blood for 3 days. All three patients reported to their doctor that their symptoms developed the day after visiting the dairy farm where they sampled raw milk. Two of the patients (85 year old female and 18 year old male) became severely dehydrated and required hospitalization. The female patient died 1 week later of multisystem organ failure, related, in part, to gastroenteritis and underlying medical conditions that she had. The second patient was given IV fluids and antibiotics which resolved his symptoms after 1 week. Based on the information provided in this case study, answer the following questions.

  1. What organism is the most likely etiologic agent that caused the infection in this family?
  1. How was the disease acquired? Explain your answer.

  1. Describe how this bacterium causes a more severe disease in immunocompromised individuals.
  1. Describe the virulence factors associated with this bacteria.
