After some time, you found out that you did not like working in microbiology lab, so you found a job at an Environmental lab. Some park attendants said that their dogs took a dive in one of the park’s ponds and after few days they became sick. So, you went to the park and took a sample of the water to analyze it
14) Name the disease or sickness they cause in humans15) Name the phenomenon they are responsible for in marine habitats16) What do these organisms use for movement?17) If these organisms reproduce at a high rate, what will happen to the other aquatic life forms living in the pond? Why
Bacteria that can survive in extreme environments are called:
a-Anaerobes
b-Saprophytes
c-Aerobes
