- Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that causes stomach ulcers, can grow in medium with a pH above 5. It can survive but not grow in pH 2 medium as long as the medium contains Urea. You inoculate a pH 2 broth with 1,000,000 H. pylori and for 8 hours the organism did not grow. The next morning however, the medium has become quite turbid, suggesting that the organism has grown. Explain how this could happen. What phylum and class does this organism belong?Why might clinical medicine have an interest in understanding bacterial cell division at the molecular level? Explain why a hyperthermophile would probably not be a human pathogen. Describe four factors that may have an influence on the effectiveness of an antimicrobial treatment.

- Biofilms are often formed on artificial surfaces in the human body. During medical procedures, when artificial joints, intravenous catheters, urinary catheters are placed and injections are made, commensals/mutualists may be introduced into new sites in the body and there they may form biofilms. Which statement below is NOT a reason to explain why such bacteria living in biofilms are so difficult to eliminate? O layers of biofilm prevent phagocytes from killing bacteria O layers of biofilm acts a a diffusion barrier against antibiotics O biofilm stimulates bacteria to grow continually in the log/exponential phase of growth O layers of biofilm acts a a diffusion barrier against antibodies/immunoglobulins O bacteria often in stationary phase of growthA bacterial culture contains 500 cells/mL in the exponential growth phase at 8 AM. If you consider a generation time 20 minutes, what will be the total number of cells/mL after three hours (i.e. at 11 AM)?In the diagrams above, an Electron Transport Chain (ETC) was depicted. ETCS contribute to the synthesis of ATP because the enzymes in the ETC Pump hydrogen ions to the outside of the cell to form a Proton Motive Force that powers ATP Synthase. Allow the recycling of electrons so that they can be recharged and placed onto ATP. O trip electrons off of an electron donor and place them onto ADP to form ATP. O Ctalyze substrate level phosphorylation. Lower the activation energy of ATP synthase, making it more energetically feasible to power the addition of a third phosphate group onto ADP to form ATP.
