MULTIPLE CHOICE ff




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


a. growth rate. ff


b. growth in all atmospheric conditions. ff ff ff ff


c. growth at particular temperatures. ff ff ff


d. bacterial shape. ff




ANSWER: D ff


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


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


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