Scientists chargedwith cleaning up the spill believebioremediation is the best option, but theyare not sure what type of bacterial species touse in the bioremediation process. To helpthem in their decision, they have listed thenutritional modes of each species. Givenyour knowledge of the different nutritionalmodes of bacteria, which nutritional modewould be most beneficial in bioremediationof the oil spill?ChemophototrophO ExtremotrophO PhotoautotrophO Chemoheterotroph

The water in theYellowstone NationalPark hot springs shownhere is around 160°F(70°C). Biologistsassumed that no speciesof organisms couldlive in water aboveabout 130°F (55°C), sothey were surprisedto find several speciesof bacteria there, nowcalled thermophiles(“heat-lovers”).
