Discuss the possible fonction of plasma membrane of pseudomonas

Distinctive characteristics of the cell membrane in the Pseudomonas genus:

- low outer membrane permeability

- protein channels for the uptake of nutrients

- porin proteins with cell adhesion and signaling functions

Explanation:  

The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer that separates the cytoplasm of the prokaryotic cell from the external environment. The cell membrane is selectively permeable in order to regulate the transport of substances (nutrients and cell waste products). Pseudomonas is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria that have a thin peptidoglycan layer and an outer membrane. In Pseudomonas species, the cell membrane contains porin proteins involved in the uptake of nutrients, such as, for example, OprB, OprB2 (glucose), OprG (phosphate) and OprH (pyrophosphate). Moreover, the cell membrane of these bacteria has low outer permeability, which confers a high resistance to antibiotics.

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
