These bacteria ferment sugars, produce lactate, and are used for some food production.
a.
Bacillus
b.
spirochetes
c.
cyanobacteria
d.
Agrobacterium
e.
Lactobacillus
All of the following are ways microorganisms adapt to limited nutrients except:
synthesize increased amount of enzymes for uptake and metabolism of limited nutrients
form metabolically active highly resistant endospores
synthesize enzymes needed to use a different nutrient acetic acid
adjust the rate at which they metabolize nutrients
You are working in a factory that is producing chemicals from the bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum. You monitor the fermenters and you notice that one fermenter has stopped producing the chemical you are interested in (the chemical is the nature-identical ketone that gives ripe raspberry flavor). You suspect that the fermenter has become contaminated. Describe how you determine if the fermenter is contaminated.
