Why is it that nitrogen inhibits growth in animals?
Zithromycin inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria. However, it cannot cross gram-negative bacteria cell walls. Would you expect zithromycin to be broad or narrow spectrum? Why? Amphotericin B disrupts the plasma membrane by binding to sterols. Why can’t it be used to treat bacterial infections? Match the following processes with the statements listed below. (Answers may be used more than once.) a. transcription b. translation c. DNA replication Ciprofloxacin inhibits DNA helicase. Which process is inhibited? _______________ RCT is a nucleotide substitute for uracil. Which process is inhibited? ___________ Tetracycline...

3. The growth of a certain bacteria in a reactor is assumed to be governed by the logistic equation: d P dt where P is the population in millions and t is the time in days. Recall that M is the carrying capacity of the reactor and k is a constant that depends on the growth rate (a) Suppose that the carrying capacity of the reactor is 10 million bacteria, and...

Pickling or making jam inhibits bacterial growth because solution is: hypotonic hydroponic isotonic hypertonic
During the log phase of growth a. bacteria are not multiplying b. bacteria are dying, resting and multiplying c. bacteria are just multiplying but slower than in log phase d. bacteria are multiplying rapidly
name two classesof chemotherapeutics that inhibit cellular metabolism and outline how each drug inhibits cell growth
trypctic soy agar (TSA) is optimized for the growth of bacteria because bacteria require high nitrogen content and low carbon for growth. Malt extract agar is optimized for the growth of fungi. fungi require a high C:N ratio and favor acidic conditions. why do sometimes get bacteria on fungal plates and fungi on bacterial plates? give examples of fungi that can grow on TSA tryptic*
