Question

You be the expert--imagine you are a teaching a class on controlling microbial growth in the environment. To test your students, you will present them with a scenario including a site and some probable microbes present.

They must design a strategy to eliminate harmful microbes from the area. In this threaded discussion, each student (at a minimum) should present a scenario for analysis by your classmates, propose an answer to another classmate's scenario, and respond to all classmates who attempt to address their scenario. Be as creative as you can!

Explanation / Answer

Firstly, we need to collect the samples like soil, water, food material and then isolate the microbes based on thier genus or species using phylogenetic knowledge. Then, we suppose to charterize their pathogenecity in animal or plant models. The pathogencity responsible markers like cell wall components, membrane proteins or cellular metabolites of pathogenic microbes can be identified during their infection in animals or plants using genomics and proteomics approach. We must design the antgonists or drugs for these pathological marker either using bioinformatics tools like docking analysis or by synthesizing structural analogs that can covalently bind to these markers and prevent or inactivate their function in pathogenesis. Several antibiotic and chemical drugs were aroused by these approaches only. So that the differentially expressed protein or metabolic profile can be targeted in the pathohenic microbes by excluding non-pathogenic microbes. If both microbes are structurally and functionally resembles to each other, we need to study their molecular differences to target our interest that helpful in the elimination of pathogenic microbes from that prticular site.
