Question

In bacterial cells treated with Mupircin, would you still expect to find large or small amounts of mRNA inside of the cell?

Answer 1

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, we can expect to find small amounts of mRNA inside the bacterial cell because the Mupirocin kills the bacteria by inhibiting transfer RNA. Mupirocin is an antibiotic used to kill the bacteria present on the skin. It destroys the cellular structure of bacteria and prevent the bacteria from causing more infection. Mupirocin do its antimicrobial activity by inhibiting isoleucyl-transfer RNA, as a result inhibiting of bacterial protein and RNA synthesis occurs.
