Discuss the possibility of life on Mars. Will extremophiles prove useful? Can you explain the upper-temperature limit to life unrelated to the stability of proteins or nucleic acids? How influential is microbial activity on the geological processes of mineral formation and deposition compared to biological processes? Can you argue both sides? What are the challenges and advantages of the use of extremeophiles in industrial or bioremediation applications?

Answer the question briefly and concisely. The Mannitol salt agar (MSA) only allows the growth of halophiles (salt-loving microbes);nonhalophiles will not grow. Among the halophiles, mannitol fermenters will produce acid that turnsthe pH indicator yellow; mannitol nonfermenters leave the medium red. Onto MSA you inoculate ahalophilic mannitol fermenter and a halophilic mannitol nonfermenter. In this case, the medium isacting as (a) __________ medium(s).A. SelectiveB. DifferentialC. Selective and differentialD. Enriched

1) would you describe the contents of the soil-inoculated broth as being a “pure culture”? Why or why not? 2) How did the uninoculated broth differ in appearance from the broths inoculated with E.

Please explain in detail and highlight the important parts cuz I am confused and need help! Thanks
I just did an acute toxicity experiment using treated and non-treated effluents with daphnia magna and my mortality rate was higher in the treated effluent. My question is why is treated pulp effluent more harmful than non-treated pulp effluent on daphnia magna? If possible please provide links for references, this is not an easy topic to find.
Which of the following would you expect if you let surfaces stay wet for 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes? A A smaller percentage of the microbes would be killed. B Time does not play a role in how successful a disinfectant treatment is, so a 5 minute application will kill the same percent of the total population as a 10 minute application. C The germicide would remove just as many total microbes; 10 minutes is definitely more time than is necessary.
