MULTIPLE CHOICE ss
1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying all of the following, except
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
a. growth rate. ss
b. growth in all atmospheric conditions. ss ss ss ss
c. growth at particular temperatures. ss ss ss
d. bacterial shape. ss
ANS: D ss
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
survivein many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers, and
ss s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
replication with scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions,
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
temperature requirements, and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is not

discussed.
