You have identified an alien species of bacteria coming in samplessent to earth by the Mars Rover. Initial experiments seem tosuggest that it is able to grow in Myelin, a lipid that coats thenerves in humans. It does that by a pathway that produces a seriesof enzymes known as Myelinase 1, Myelinase 2 and Myelinase 3.Sequencing the DNA shows that the Myelinase genes are adjacent oneto the other in the chromosome, and your professor came up with ahypothesis that these genes are under common regulation, andrespond to an inducible biofeedback mechanism. Explain how thismechanism might work, and what things you should observe in anexperiment that proves this hypothesis. Why do you think thebacteria evolved this mechanism?
