The bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus are frequently used in the production of yogurt. These bacteria use lactic acid fermentation when oxygen is not available. What would happen to the bacteria under anaerobic conditions if the lactic acid fermentation pathway were blocked?

Which of the following is not true of the formation of a bacterial translation initiation complex? a. if-3 binding to gtp is required for the charged trna to associate with the first mrna codon. b. n-formylmethionyl-trnafmet binds in the p site. c. if-1, if-2, and if-3 dissociate upon the 50s subunit binding. d. the 30s ribosome associates with the mrna before the 50s ribosome.
