Question: First, Lactobacillus bacteria in the rumen degrade L -tryptophan to indoleacetic acid, with what, which also produce indole from tryptophan, in the rumen then converting it to 3-methylindole?

Answer: Bacteria

Indole is produced from tryptophan by bacteria that express tryptophanase. Clostridium sporogenes metabolizes tryptophan into indole and subsequently 3-indolepropionic acid (IPA), a highly potent neuroprotective antioxidant that scavenges hydroxyl radicals.

Lactobacillus bacteria in the rumen degrade L -tryptophan to indoleacetic acid; bacteria in the rumen convert this to 3-methylindole (3MI) ( skatole ), which is readily absorbed through the rumen wall into the portal circulation. (3-methylindole is produced exclusively from indoleacetic acid and not directly from L-tryptophan.)

Question: In practice, bombs do not contain hundreds of tons of uranium or what, which the "Thin Man" design was proposed before the breeding of in a reactor?

Answer: Plutonium

The "Thin Man" design was an early nuclear weapon design proposed before plutonium had been successfully bred in a nuclear reactor from the irradiation of uranium-238. It was assumed that plutonium, like uranium-235, could be assembled into a critical mass by a gun-type method, which involved shooting one sub-critical piece into another.

In practice, bombs do not contain hundreds of tons of uranium or plutonium. Instead, typically (in a modern weapon) the core of a weapon contains only about 5 kilograms of plutonium, of which only 2 to 2.5 kilograms, representing 40 to 50 kilotons of energy, undergoes fission before the core blows itself apart.

Question: What substance that was initially developed for medicinal purposes by the Taoists makes a good propellant but is less suitable for shattering rocks?

Answer: Gunpowder

Ignition of gunpowder packed behind a projectile generates enough pressure to force the shot from the muzzle at high speed, but usually not enough force to rupture the gun barrel. Gunpowder thus makes a good propellant, but is less suitable for shattering rock or fortifications with its low-yield explosive power.

Originally developed by the Taoists for medicinal purposes, gunpowder was first used for warfare around 904 AD. Gunpowder is classified as a low explosive because of its relatively slow decomposition rate and consequently low brisance.
