The Aliivibrio fischeri strain we are using the term (MJ 1741) comes from the pineapple fish

(Monocentris japonica). Also known as the pineconefish, it is yellow with distinct large scales

outlined in black. The fish is nocturnal and feeds at night. During the day, it shelters in caves and

under ledges. It has light-producing organs filled with the bioluminescent bacteria on each side

of its lower jaw. Though the purpose of these photo-organs is not specifically known, what do

you think may be the benefit to the host organism?

a. Attracting prey

b. Attracting a mate

c.Hiding from predators


d.Communication A. attracting prey

High level of [x] activates the operon systems of luminous bacteria like A. fischeri in its

environment. The regulatory response to this molecule leads to the induction of expression of the

lux genes which is termed [y]. Therefore, where is the bacteria is most likely to glow? Inside its

host or in the open ocean? [z] x: autoinducer (AHL)


y: quorum sensing

z: inside its host

The Resuspension Buffer contains ____________ that can solubilize the membrane proteins and

disrupt the lipid bilayer of gram-negative cells to help get the proteins into solution. The

phospholipids in the membrane are solubilized by this reagent. It also helps release the DNA by

binding proteins (both membrane and non-membrane proteins) and denaturing them..

membrane in the column. (True/False) False




The maximum wavelength of DNA absorbance is 260nm, within the UV range. This is due to the

nitrogenous bases of DNA (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine). At this wavelength, double
