Module 3 EN

Traditional ecological studies search for naturally occurring adaptation of bacteria to their environments and environmental proteomics contributes to these studies studying adaptation mechanisms, especially under extreme environmental conditions.

TRUE

FALSE

Currently, most proteomics studies of environmental microorganisms are performed with well-known model microbes that are non-culturable under controlled conditions in the laboratory.

FALSE

TRUE

Environmental proteomics catalogues the proteins of ecosystem parts, even lacking the knowledge about the organisms producing those proteins.

TRUE

FALSE

From technical point of view, the metaproteomic approach provides great advantage compared to standard biochemical/molecular biology analyses.

FALSE

TRUE

Bioinformatics assists in proteomics experimental results' annotation and interpretation.

TRUE

FALSE

Metabolic engineering is a multidisciplinary branch of science that deals with the generation of desirable products through the manipulation of the metabolic characteristics of a host organism.

FALSE

TRUE

The bottleneck step in the methodological approaches of metaproteomic studies of soil microbial communities is:

The lack of direct protein extraction from the complex soil medium

The lack of direct DNA extraction from the complex soil medium

The lack of direct RNA extraction from the complex soil medium

The lack of direct microbial species extraction from the complex soil medium

Molecular phenotyping is a technique that:

Identifies a big number of proteins to change their quantification as a response to environmental conditions.

Identifies a smaller number of RNAs to change their quantification as a response to environmental conditions.

Identifies a smaller number of proteins to change their quantification as a response to environmental conditions.

Identifies a big number of RNAs to change their quantification as a response to environmental conditions.
