An experimenter studying the oxidation of fatty acids in
extracts of liver found that when palmitate (16:0) was provided as
substrate, it was completely oxidized to CO2. However, when
undecanoic acid (11:0) was added as substrate, incomplete oxidation
occurred unless he bubbled CO2 through the reaction mixture.
The addition of the protein avidin, which binds tightly to biotin,
prevented the complete oxidation of undecanoic acid even in the
presence of CO2, although it had no effect on palmitate oxidation.
Explain these observations in light of what you know of fatty acid
oxidation reactions.

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...
