A friend who has lakefront property and who cherishes her lush, green lawn complains of green, foul-smelling scum on the lake each summer. Explain how her lawn might be contributing to the problem?
Every year, supposedly safe municipal water supplies cause outbreaks of enteric illness.Using the Wisconsin outbreak example from the 1990s, explain how pathogens can slip through water analysis and treatment processes undetected and untreated.
Ruminants (like cattle) are herbivores but lack the necessary enzymes to digest cellulose from plants. Part of the digestive tract of ruminants contains a microbial community that can break down cellulose. These microbes gain energy from the plant material, and byproducts of their metabolism provide the host with a source of Carbon and energy. What type of symbiosis does this relationship describe?
