Problem:
Question 1: Defend this statement: "the use of nitrate (NO3-) as a terminal electron acceptor is dissimilatory nitrate reduction"
Question 2: What is the name of the causative agent of tuberculosis? Why does active tuberculosis often lead to a permanent reduction in lung capacity, whereas other respiratory diseases cause only temporary respiratory problems? Worldwide, the prevalence of tuberculosis is very high, but active disease is much lower. Explain. What component of the cell wall of this microbe makes it harder to treat with antibiotics?
Could someone help to explain the answer of these questions.
