Which statement is incorrect for microbial toxins?(A) Botulinum toxins can inhibit the release of neurotransmitter from nerve endings.(B) Alfatoxin B1 is the most toxic aflatoxin, which can induce liver injury and cause liver cancer in humans.(C) Cholera toxin disrupts ion transport of intestinal cells, leading to severe diahhea.(D) Endotoxins are components of the outer membrane of Gram-positive bacteria.(E) Saxitoxin is a member of algal toxins (or cyanotoxins) and can cause paralytic shellfish poisoning.

3. Which is true regarding carbon and nitrogen cycles completed by bacteria?(A) Mineralization is a process in which carbon is converted into biomass become. temporarily unavailable for nutrient cycling.(B) Only archaea can form methane (CH4) from either H2 + CO2 or H2 + acetate.(C) Nitrification is an anaerobic reaction performed by the bacteria Planctomycetes to convert nitrate into N2.(D) Denitrification is two-step chemolithotropic process to convert ammonium to nitrite.(E) Nitrogenase is the enzyme that can catalyze anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox).

Choose a correct property from comparing Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.(A) Gas vesicles are present in Archaea and Eukarya.(B) The size of ribosomes is 80S and 70S in Bacteria and Archaea, respectively.(C) Chlorophyll-based photosynthesis is present in Bacteria and Archaea.(D) Poly-A tailing and splicing are present in Archaea and Eukarya.(E) Both Archaea and Eukarya do not contain muramic acid in their cell wall.

5. Please choose one wrong statement regarding pathogen transmission and infection? (A) In airborne transmission of pathogens, droplet nuclei are large particles (＞5 micrometer diameter) that can travel ＜ 1 meter. (B) Colonization of a microbial pathogen on or within host is not necessarily result in tissue invasion or damage. (C) Based on lethal dose 50 (LD50), bacterial strain A (LD50 = 5000) is more virulent than bacterial strain B (LD50 = 7500). (D) Intoxications are diseases that result from entry of a specific performed toxin into host. (E) Reservoir is a natural environmental location in which the pathogen normally resides.
