- Discuss the possibility of life on Mars. In reference to extremophiles. Defend or refute this statement: The upper-temperature limit to life is 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? (argue both sides of this one). What challenges and advantages do you see with the use of extremeophiles in industrial or bioremediation applications?arrow_forwardTOPIC : MICROBIAL GROWTH Classify the bacteria that is most likely involved in each situation provided according to their classification (as to microbial growth requirements). CHOICES: A. Obligate aerobe ,B. Obligate anaerobe, C. Microaerophile, D. Aerotolerant anaerobe, E. Mesophile, F. Thermophiles 1.The bacteria under study thrives at the alveolar ducts in the lungs causing respiratory disease. 2.In the experiment, the agar plate containing an axenic culture was originally incubated inside a candle jar for one day and then transferred to an oxygen-rich incubator for another day. Findings: the microbial growth persisted and stayed the same regardless of the specific type of incubation employed. 3.A microorganism that can survive pickling and refrigeration was discovered when a tightly-sealed jar of pickles grew several colonies despite following the correct recipe, tight closure seal, and proper refrigeration. 4.The spoiled bottle of wine that was stored at standard room temperature…arrow_forwardWhich of these are known to host chemosynthetic communities? a) Hydrothermal vent O b) Hydrocarbon seep c) Hypersaline seep d) All of the above.arrow_forward
