ANSWER: D vb
The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to

survivein many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers,

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

temperature requirements, and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is not
