·       Inhibition of Cell Wall Synthesis (block steps in the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan)

·       Inhibition of Protein Synthesis (Translation) (blocking of cytoplasmic ribosome binding)

·       Interfering with Cell Membrane Permeability (interact with the lipopolysaccharide component of the membrane of gram-negative bacteria)

·       Inhibition of Nucleic Acid Synthesis (DNA, RNA) (for example blocking RNA polymerase activity)

·       Inhibition of Metaboliric Pathways (inhibitors for bacterial enzymes)

List three physical agents and three chemical agents used for microbial control.

Physical agents: temperature (high temperature and dry heat have the best effect), radiation (X-rays or UV-rays can induce mutations which cause imbalance in the vital processes), moist pressure (causes coagulation...

Describe the mechanisms by which enzymes lower activation energy

Enzymes lower activation energy through various means, including positioning substrates together in the proper orientation, applying torque on the substrates, providing the proper charge or pH microenvironment, and adding or...

Explain the mode of action of fluoride and bisulphate on the fermentation pathway. Predict their likely effect if the yeast treated with these agents had been respiring.

Fluoride ions inhibit alcoholic fermentation by the inhibition of enolase, which is an enzyme functioning in the glycolytic pathway. Enolase catalyzes the reversible dehydration of 2-phospho-D-glycerate to yield PEP (phosphodiesterase).Fluorides...
