12. You have discovered a new species of bacteria that lives in a deep ocean, hydrothermal vent, where temperatures can be extremely hot. Predict whether you expect this new species to have a higher or lower percentage of cytosines and guanines in their DNA, compared to a typical lab bacterial species that grows at 37°C. Explain your reasoning.

Many of the first prokaryotes to be cultured in a scientific lab were human or animal pathogens. Why would these species he more readily cultured than non-pathogenic prokaryotes? Pathogenic prokaryotes are hardier than non-pathogenic prokaryotes Non-pathogenic prokaryotes require more supplements in their growth media Most of the necessary culture conditions could be inferred for pathogenic prokaryotes Pathogenic bacteria can grow as free bacteria, but non-pathogenic bacteria only grow as parts of large colonies.
