Melonate inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria by inhibiting the activity of
- A Dinitrogenase
- B Succinic dehydrogenase
- C Amylase
- D Lipase
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Succinic dehydrogenase
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Option (2) is correct answer of this question because malonate is a competitive inhibitor of enzyme succinate dehydrogenase.
Inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate occurs due to close resemblance of malonate with substrate succinate in structure. Competitive inhibitors are often used in the control of bacterial pathogens.
