- Hi can I get help on this microbiology question please? I am stuck and do not understand it. Thank you A prokaryotic cell hitched a ride to Earth on a space shuttle from some unknown planet. Microbiologists studied the microorganism and concluded it is a psychrophile, an obligate halophile, and an obligate aerobe. 1. Based on the characteristics of the microorganism described in this case, describe at least three characteristics that the unknown planet where the microorganism lived before must have so that it can survive in it. 2. Explain the following microbial characteristics or terms in complete sentences: psychrophile. obligate halophile. obligate aerobe.arrow_forwardChapter 9 L discusses some oxygen requirement, grouped. We're going to focus on those that do not necessarily need oxygen for survival. For this part: aerotolerance, categories under which most prokaryotic organisms can be 1. What oxygen requirement, or aerotolerance, categories allow for an organism to survive in the complete absence of oxygen? Please list those oxygen requirement/aerotolerance categories where an organism doesn't necessarily need oxygen for growth. 2. Oxygen is toxic to most organisms, even you! One reason we don't see the effects of this is because most organisms are able to produce enzymes to counteract this toxicity. This is called, "detoxifying reactive oxygen species (ROS)," as discussed in Chapter 9. In order to survive in the presence of oxygen (if it can), a prokaryotic organism must be able to undergo detoxification of reactive oxygen species. For each category you listed in 1), please provide: A. the enzymes that may be lacking/missing in order to detoxify…arrow_forwardThis is microbiology question. I got it wrong.
