Chapter 19, Problem 4RQ
Summary Introduction
The surface of the rock is the essential habitats, usually offering prominent access to nutrients, protection from physical cochemical disturbance and protection from predation. Additionally, the flow along a colonized surface increase nutrient transport to the surface and provide numerous

- Most bacteria require a water activity of 0.9 or higher to grow. A prolonged period of being dry usually causes loss of viability. How were there still living bacteria in many of the dried foods such as dried rice, dehydrated coconut flakes, raisins, etc.? Discuss.arrow_forwardFor a bacterium that prefers a neutral pH and has an optimal (best) growth pH of 7, how would growth of this bacterium at pH 4 most likely compare to growth at pH 7? Growth would be slower (or the bacterium might die) at pH 4 Growth would be faster at pH 4 Growth would be the same at both pH valuesarrow_forwardWhat is a biofilm? What is the advantage for microbes to form a biofilm?arrow_forward
- Why might a biofilm be a good habitat for bacterial cells livingin a flowing system?arrow_forwardList the different type of bacteria depending on the salt concentration required for their growth? Why it is difficult for microorganisms to grow at low aw values?arrow_forwardDiseases that involve biofilm-producing bacteria are of serious concern. They are not as easily treated compared with those involving free-floating (or planktonic) bacteria. Explain three reasons why biofilms can be more pathogenic.arrow_forward
- Why is nutrient broth considered as a universal growth medium for bacteria?arrow_forwardThe generation time of microbacterium cells present in activated sludge is 30 minutes. If these bacteria are allowed to grow for 15 hours, how many generation would have taken placearrow_forwardDiseases that involve biofilm-producing bacteria are serious concern. They are not easily treated compared with those involving free-floating bacteria. Explain three reasons why biofilm formers are more pathogenic.arrow_forward
- Why canal/pond water supports growth and development of microbes?arrow_forwardA microbe cannot grow without using enzymes. Explain why bacteria are limited to growth within a given temperature range. Explain why bacteria are limited in growth within a specific pH range.arrow_forwardConsidering what you know about molds and yeasts, why do you think that we do not use the same nutrient agar used for bacteria to grow yeasts and moldsarrow_forward
