As a research member of a genomics company, you are asked to take the lead on sequencing the genome of Legionella pneumophila (see below Question).
(a) Why is your company interested in sequencing this bacterial species, and
(b) what possible applications are possible from knowing its DNA sequence
QUESTION:
In 1976, an outbreak of pulmonary infections among participants at an American Legion convention in Philadelphia led to the identification of a new disease, Legionnaires' disease. The bacterial organism, Legionella pneumophila, responsible for the disease had never before been known to be pathogenic. From your knowledge of bacterial genetics, can you postulate how it might have acquired the ability to cause disease
