Question
the physiological reactions of bacteria to enzymes provide indirect evidence of the types of substrates present in a particular species
true or false
true
false
Enzymes are highly specific in their action, binding to specific substrates. Bacteria's physiological reactions (like growth, metabolic by - product production) when exposed to enzymes can indicate the presence of substrates that the enzyme can act upon. For example, if a bacterial culture shows increased metabolic activity when a particular enzyme is added, it implies that the substrate for that enzyme is present in the bacteria (either naturally or as part of the growth medium related to the bacterial species' characteristics).
