Chapter 6, Problem 1VI
Summary Introduction
To label:
The given thioglycolate tubes to indicate the oxygen requirements of the microbes growing in them.
Introduction:
The microorganisms require different environmental conditions for their survival. Some microbes survive in aerobic conditions and some survive in anaerobic conditions. Some require different concentrations of oxygen to thrive.
