- Figure 9.17 Which of the following statements about quorum sensing is false? Autoinducer must bind to receptor to turn on transcription of genes responsible for the production of more autoinducer. The receptor stays in the bacterial cell but the autoinducer diffuses out. Autoinducer can only act on a different cell: it cannot act on the cell in which it is made. Autoinducer turns on genes that enable the bacteria to form a biofilm.arrow_forwardThe purpose for blocking the membrane for western blotting with milk is: to allow antibodies from binding to the membrane to allow antibodies to bind to the membrane to prevent the antibodies from randomly binding to the membrane to allow for the visualization of the signalarrow_forwardHow can we easily determine VEGF expression in a western blot experiment?

The hydrophobic outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria An enzyme that processes antibiotics to inactivate them A mutation in the DNA regulating gene expression that results in fewer antibiotic-accessible membrane porins in the cell wall Amembrane transporter that actively pumps antibiotics out of the cell An alteration in the antibiotic's binding site on its cellular target An enzyme that modifies an antibiotic so it can no longer bind its targetarrow_forwardThe most selectively toxic antibacterial agents are those that interfere with bacterial cell wall synthesis. This is because ________.
