a. growth rate.
b. growth in all atmospheric conditions.
c. growth at particular temperatures.
d. bacterial shape.
ANS >> D
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 discussed.
