Question

The production of neurotoxins by some algae increases the availability of glucose, an important nutrient for these microorganisms.

False

In the article Premature Births Linked to Changes in Mother's Bacteria, scientists were not looking at the Eukaryotic microorganisms in the vaginal microbiome. However, if they did and they found protozoa, does the presence of protozoa mean the protozoan is causing disease?

Yes

In the article Premature Births Linked to Changes in Mother's Bacteria, the sequence of the _______ regions of the _______ gene was likely used to determine the bacterial diversity of the vaginal microbiome.

True

Explanation / Answer

1. The production of neurotoxin from some algae increase the availability of glucose, an important nutrients for these microorganisms.

The statement is False.

Explaination:

Some algae produuces neurotoxin which contains phosphates and nitrogen which may be useful to increase the rate of growth of these algae itself.

2. The answer is No.

Explaination:

Mostly the staphylococcus and streptococcus are fooudd to disturb the normal flora of lactobacilli in vaginal region and so, they are responsible to cause sepsis or other diseases.

3. The answer is conserved region, 16S rRNA.

because this region is exclusive for all bacteria whereas variable region is specific to large number of bacteria.
