Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The incorrect pairing of extremozyme subtype and survival conditions has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The microbial enzyme that would make the enzymes present in human and the other higher organisms inactive is called extremozyme. The enzyme, extremozyme is found in extremophiles. The subtypes of extremophiles are acidophiles, alkaliphiles, halophiles, hyperthermophiles, piezophiles, xerophiles and cryophiles.

- A. Antibiotics, such as gentamicin, are used in media to prevent growth of susceptible microbes. Is gentamicin media a selective, differential or enrichment media? B. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that all Escherichia bacteria can normally ferment into an acidic waste compound. This acidic end product is detected by including a pH indicator in the agar and noticing a color change. The strain of Escherichia that is a common food pathogen, E. coli O157:H7, however can not ferment sorbitol. It will grow similar to other E. coli, but not change the agar color.
