While Aisha is home for the weekend, she gets a chance to visit the Health Center and see their laboratories. The lab technician Sara tells Aisha she is busy working on a patient's skin sample (figure a), and asks Aisha to help her identify the organisms in the sample. First, they take the sample and streak it on a nutrient agar plate. After incubating the agar plate ovemight, a number of microorganisms grow in the agar. Sara and Aisha then take a sample from one colony and look at it under the microscope. When Aisha focuses under the medium power objective, she sees the following structures (Figure b). 1. What is the scientific name of the organism in figure b? ani 2. What is the svmbiotic relationship between this organism and human skin? Explain your answer. (e cn S) 3.
