What did pasteur prove when he showed that a cotton plug that had filtered air would trigger microbial growth when transferred to a sterile medium?what argument made previously was he addressing
Viruses were first described as “filterable agents” meaningthat(a) They were often discovered on filters used to retain mi-crobes(b) The filters that were used to sterilize microbial mediawould trap viruses(c) They would pass through filters that were capable of re-taining the smallest known bacteria(d) They were found to aggregate into structures that servedas coarse filters.
What is the difference between culture media and cultural environment? Are environmental conditions related to specific microbes? If so, which conditions for which type of microbes? If you were a field researcher collecting microbes in the wild, what kind of data would you take to make sure you know the exact environment the samples require in order to culture them in a lab?

After all the thorough experiments, you were only able to cultivate and study 36 microorganisms. However, based on the metagenomic analysis conducted, there are about 140 other species present in the samples collected. Why is this the case? Discuss and expound on the possible reasonarrow_forward
