#Applied Microbiology

Consider the following statements regarding the Adaptation phase of chemotaxis:

Statement I: Adaptation allows bacteria to reset their sensitivity to attractant concentrations, enabling them to detect changes over a wide range.

Statement II: The protein CheB acts as a methylesterase that removes methyl groups from the MCP receptors, while CheR acts as a methyltransferase.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?

#Applied Microbiology

  • Assertion (A): In the presence of a high concentration of an attractant, the frequency of bacterial tumbling decreases (longer runs).

  • Reason (R): Attractant binding causes a conformational change in the receptor that inhibits CheA kinase activity, leading to reduced levels of CheY-P.

    Consider the following statements regarding the Biosynthesis (Synthesis) phase:

      Statement I: "Early proteins" synthesized during viral infection are typically enzymes needed for viral DNA replication and to halt host cell metabolism

      Statement II: "Late proteins" include structural components like capsid proteins and tail fibers, which are synthesized after the viral genome has been replicated.
