You find yourself in a deep dark cave in a karstic environment and it smells like rotten eggs. In a stream you find white filaments that look like they could be microbes. You quickly realize that your shoes are being quickly damaged by the stream water that causes major irritation to your skin. Unfortunately, you do not have a pH meter and you can't really test the pH. 1. Please identify potential sources of energy, electron and carbon for these microbes. 2. What could be a possible terminal electron acceptor? 3. Name these organisms using nomenclature. 4. What could be the pH of the stream water?

Which of the following prevented an aerotolerant anaerobic, mesophilic and halophilic bacterium from contaminating your home aquarium? the water was at 37ºC you placed a high amount of glucose into the aquarium you placed several pennies in the aquarium you were using a .45 um filtering unit you placed carbon dioxide instead of oxygen into the aquarium
Explain the reasons why cream cheese is a high risk food for the elderly and pregnant women. The cheese would be easily spoiled if you found the condensed water on the inner side of the cover lid of the container, and also if you put it at room temperature for more than two hours. Explain in term of the factors of microbes growth. Explain it detailed.
Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that causes stomach ulcers, can grow in medium with a pH above 5. It can survive but not grow in pH 2 medium as long as the medium contains Urea. You inoculate a pH 2 broth with 1,000,000 H. pylori and for 8 hours the organism did not grow. The next morning however, the medium has become quite turbid, suggesting that the organism has grown. Explain how this could happen. What phylum and class does this organism belong?
1. why is there a need to incubate cultures at room temperature? How can this affect microbes? 2. Explain why an inverted image is seen under a compound microscope.
I'm hoping that I got correct answer on this chart. Can you help me, please?some of the above choices are strict aerobes and some are facultative anaerobes. This is helpful to first eliminate a set from your possibilities (look them up to figure this out) At first eliminate the organisms that *cannot* do something your organism *can*. This means you have a positive test result and you eliminate those that are always negative for that result. That way you do not have to worry that you accidentally killed the unknown before you inoculated it. You do still need to be concerned that you interpreted the test results correctly and did not introduce a contaminant that has the ability you were testing while your true unknown did not.
Tell me three things that you know about controlling microbial growth - think about how you handle certain foods in you home. Why is it so important to learn about how we can control microbes?
1. Table 1 lists a typical recipe for growing bacteria in the lab. A researcher discovered a potentially new species of bacterium from a soil sample and attempted to grow it in this media. Unfortunately, the bacterium did not grow. Identify at least three components that you suggest adding to the medium to enable growth. Provide a reason for adding each component. Table 1. per 1000 mL 1g Bacteria culture media NazHPO4•7H2O KH2PO4 3g 5 g 1 g 0.4% (wt/vol) 0.2% (wt/vol) NaCl NHẠC1 Glucose Casamino acids
