How can bacteria resist killing from cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs)? Choose all that apply. a. Use a protease to cleave and inactivate the CAMP b. Add more negatively charged molecules to the outer membrane c. Increase the permeability of the outer membrane d. Mask negatively charged molecules on the outer membrane
Cationic antimicrobial peptides-
Ans. - (a) use proteases to cleave and inactivate CAMPs
(Eg.-the protease OmpT contributes CAMP resistant in E.coli.Stumpe et al.)
Ans.(d) mask negative charge. Bacteria establish biofilms on outer surface.capsule production.

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...
