Pseudomonas syringae strain Lz4W is a Gram-negative, Antarctic soil species that grows at 0ÂºC. This strain has been used to determine membrane fluidity when grown at different temperatures

RNA polymerase from E. coli does not function at OÂ°C, whereas in vitro experiments determined that RNA polymerase from Pseudomonas syringae strain Lz4w functions at about 10%-15% of its optimum, which is 370C. Which of the following best explains the difference?

A. The RNA polymerase subunits of the P. syringae strain probably have extra flexibility so that they can move more freely in colder temperatures.
B. There are likely more GC base pairs in the DNA of the genes encoding the RNA polymerase subunits of E. coli so that they are only able to be transcribed at warmer temperatures.
C. There is likely more flexibility in the E. coliRNA polymerase subunits so that they only work at warmer temperatures and not at the colder temperatures of the Antarctic.
D. There are likely more AT base pairs in the DNA of the genes encoding the RNA polymerase subunits of the P syringae strain so that they can be transcribed more easily at colder temperatures.

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?
