Diseases that involve biofilm-producing bacteria are of serious concern. They are not as easily treated compared with those involving free-floating (or planktonic) bacteria. Explain three reasons why biofilms can be more pathogenic.
Name two soil properties that can affect infiltration rates. How does application rate affect infiltration? Why are infiltration rates typically higher in a sandy than in a clay soil?
If the result of an unknown bacteria is “poor growth” and “red growth,” can this result be interpreted as “organism does not ferment mannitol?” Explain why or why not.
If the result of an unknown bacteria is “good growth” and “yellow growth,” is the unknown bacteria more likely Staphylococcus aureus or Staphylococcus epidermidis?

Assume the algal cell is a perfect sphere of 3 μm diameter and is travelling at 100 cm/s in the tubular region in the same direction of fluid flow.
