A bacterium can make the amino acid glycine or absorb it

A bacterium can make the amino acid glycine or absorb it from its surroundings. A biochemist found that glycine binds to a repressor protein and causes the repressor to bind to the bacterial chromosome, turning off an operon. If it is like other operons, the presence of glycine will result in the The breakdown of glycine Inhibition of bacterial cell division Cessation of the synthesis of glycine Manufacture of the repressor protein
