Reference no: EM133380263

Questions:

1. What is the function of these extracellular enzymes? (e.g. Why do the cells need to make them?)

2. Do you think extracellular enzymes would make a bacterium more or less pathogenic (likely to cause a disease)? Explain your reasoning.

3. You isolate a bacterium that lives in the intestines of mammals and determine that it lacks exoenzymes which hydrolyze proteins and lipids. Explain how this bacteria might be able to survive without these sources of energy and nutrients.
