MULTIPLE CHOICE rq




1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying all of the following, except
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


a. growth rate. rq


b. growth in all atmospheric conditions. rq rq rq rq


c. growth at particular temperatures. rq rq rq


d. bacterial shape. rq




ANSWER: D rq


The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


survive in many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers,
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


and replication with scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions,
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


temperature requirements, and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is
rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq rq


not discussed.
