IS IT A FACT OR A BLUFF? 1. Bacterial genetic material is composed single stranded DNA as compared to human DNA which is double stranded.    2. Just like humans, all microbes need oxygen to grow and reproduce.   3. There are no living microbes in volcanic vent and in hot spring because microbes die at very high temperature.   4. Most bacteria growth is retarded at low temperature.    5. Bacterial ATP production happens in the mitochondria which is the powerhouse of the cell.    After identifying your answer whether fact or bluff, you need to give justification to your answer. You  Justification should be given in not more that 50 words.

Microbial Growth

The development of microbial growth is influenced by various natural conditions (both physical and synthetic) like pH, temperature, saltiness, gas focus (O2, CO2, and H2), nutrients, water action, and assimilation. Knowing the distinctive physical and chemical factors that influence the development and endurance of microbial growth in the climate will assist with reinforcing endeavors outfitted towards their control. These lines lessen or diminish their harmful impacts on humankind, creatures, and the climate.
