Lactose is present, otherwise the lac operon is not needed and is shut off.
no, it shows negative for lactose fermentation on MacConkey's agar

Citrobacter diversus is capable of fermenting lactose, therefore it would test positive for lactose fermentation in biochemical tests. This bacterium produces acid and gas during lactose fermentation, which can be detected using appropriate methods such as the MacConkey agar test.
When lactose is absent, the lac operon is typically turned off or repressed. This means that the genes involved in lactose metabolism are not actively transcribed and the production of the necessary enzymes is halted.
A lac repressor turns off the lac genes by binding to the operator
Only when lactose is present; if glucose is present the cell will metabolize glucose over lactose due to glucose being easier for the cell to metabolize.
it allows bacteria to regulate the expression of genes involved in lactose metabolism in response to lactose availability. This enables efficient utilization of lactose as an energy source only when needed, conserving cellular resources when lactose is not present in the environment.
types of bacterium.
Yes, Hafnia is a lactose fermenter. It is a Gram-negative bacterium which can ferment lactose to produce acid and gas. This characteristic can be used for its identification in microbiology.
its an operon required for the transport and metabolism of lactose.
It is an artificial enzyme which takes the place of lactase. It acts as a catalyst by lowering the activation energy of the reaction in which lactose is broken down. This speeds up the metabolism of lactose.
no, it shows negative for lactose fermentation on MacConkey's agar
Lactose metabolism primarily occurs in the small intestine. Enzymes called lactase are responsible for breaking down lactose into its simpler forms, glucose and galactose, which can then be absorbed by the body for energy. If lactase is deficient, individuals may experience lactose intolerance.
Allolactose is a molecule that binds to the lac repressor protein in E. coli, causing it to detach from the lac operator region in the lac operon. This allows RNA polymerase to bind to the promoter and transcribe the genes necessary for lactose metabolism. Ultimately, this process enables the bacteria to use lactose as an energy source.
Lactose metabolism occurs in the small intestine of humans. It begins when lactase, an enzyme produced by the small intestine, breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose. This process allows the body to absorb these simple sugars for energy.
Dairy are rich in proteins, milk,cheese, yogurt has good amount of proteins. Butter is not a good proteins source but they are rich in fats. It is essential to have enough amount of proteins in our daily meal.
