Thermophiles Psychrophiles O Mesophiles O Halophilesarrow_forwardHelicobacter pylori, a bacterium that causes stomach ulcers, can grow in medium with a pH above 5. It can survive but not grow in pH 2 medium as long as the medium contains Urea. You inoculate a pH 2 broth with 1,000,000 H. pylori and for 8 hours the organism did not grow. The next morning however, the medium has become quite turbid, suggesting that the organism has grown. Explain how this could happen. What phylum and class does this organism belong?arrow_forwardAn obligate halophile is an organism that requires high osmotic pressure.True or false?arrow_forward
- The optimum growth pH for a microorganism is usually: 4,5,7 or 8arrow_forwardFor a bacterium that prefers a neutral pH and has an optimal (best) growth pH of 7, how would growth of this bacterium at pH 4 most likely compare to growth at pH 7? Growth would be slower (or the bacterium might die) at pH 4 Growth would be faster at pH 4 Growth would be the same at both pH valuesarrow_forwardMicrobes that can survive and thrive in extreme environments are called extremophiles. In this context, what term is the most accurate to describe the microbes that can grow in salty wastewater? Acidophiles Psychrophiles Thermophiles O Halophilesarrow_forward
