Module V
Obligate hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (OHCBs) are known for their ability to break down these substances?
What are hydrocarbons?
Cryptosporidium is transmitted through ingestion of this.
What is a sporulated oocyst?
Extracellular binding site of cells composed of
carbohydrates and polysaccharides that are effective at binding heavy metals and preventing uptake.
What are exopolymers/extracellular polymeric substances (EPS)?
Water-insoluble contaminants are more readily taken up by microbes for degradation.
What is false?
This techniques adds oxygen below the water table into the saturated zones and displaces water.
What is air sparging?
Watery diarrhea with mucus is characteristic of this classification of pathogenic E. coli infection.
What is enteropathogenic?
This process decreases metal toxicity by guiding its diffusion away from the cell.
What is methylation?
A microbial population may be as small as one other microbe on the same fomite.
What is true?
These are used as heat-resistant oils that are non-flammable such as hydraulic fluids and petroleum additives.
What are polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)?
This bacteria is spiral-shaped?
What is Heliobacter pylori?
Extracellular organic compounds that complex iron,
transport it into the cell, and interact with metals similar to iron which reduces bioavailability.
What are siderophores?
Helminths have organs and tissues.
What is true?
These mycorrhizal fungi are associated with the space between hyphae (intercellular) and are found in woody trees or shrubs.
What are ericaceous myocorrhizae?
This virus has double-stranded DNA as its genome.
What is adenovirus?
This is the microbe-microbe interaction in which they have no effect on one another.
What is neutralism?
These genes are typically used today for diversity examination and tend to produce lower diversity estimates than DNA-reassociation kinetics.
What is rRNA?
What is rhinovirus?
This is a pathogen transmitted by insects that breed or live near water.
What is water-related disease?
