Lets understand the bacterial nutrient composition :
Nutrients
– obtained from the environment- used for energy and biosynthesis of macromolecules
• Cell solids components (H, O, C, N, P and S)
• Cations (K, Mg, C a, Fe, Mn, C o, Cu, Mo and Zn)
• Anions (Cl)
• Vitamins
Now lets see the basic mechanism of food intake in bacteria: Passive Transport comprise :Passive/simple diffusion and Facilitated diffusion, Active transport,Group translocation, Receptoral intake.
Coming to the question :
Compound A: We can see there is no change in the nutrient uptake by the bacterial cell even at various Ph changes. This is due to the facilitated diffusion intake , wher irrespective of the nutrient present outside the cell the presence of carrier proteins (sometimes called permeases) are embedded within the cell membrane and provide a channel or pore across the membrane barrier, allowing for the passage of larger molecules. If the concentration gradient dissipates, the passage of molecules into the cell stops. Each carrier protein typically exhibits specificity, only transporting in a particular type of molecule or closely related molecules
Compound B: Here there is a acidic Ph in which the bacteria is able intake much nutrient. Only Aciodophilic bacterias can thrive in this Ph. The mechanism is Secondary active transport which utilizes energy from a proton motive force (PMF). A PMF is an ion gradient that develops when the cell transports electrons during energy-conserving processes. Positively charged protons accumulate along the outside of the negatively charged cell, creating a proton gradient between the outside of the cell and the inside. ex: Thiobacillus thiooxidans
Compound c : Neutral Ph is the condition wher there is a maximum nutrient intake. This might be the simple diffusion of nutrients.

The more solution. pH specifies the acidity or basicity of solution by measuring the the more acidic the solution and lower hydrogen ion consentation (H). Like temperature, pH affects the three- pH) dimensional shape of enzymes, thus regulating their...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
