PASS
Microbes have very narrow optimum temperature ranges.
Which of the following classifications of microbes are most
likely to cause human disease, based on temperature
requirements?
hyperthermophiles
thermophiles
mesophiles
psychrophiles
Mesophiles - The temperature range of mesophiles overlaps
that of normal human body temperature, allowing the greatest
growth.
Which of the following statements accurately describes the
culture media necessary for growing Clostridium tetani?
A complex medium is one whose exact chemical composition
is known.
Nutrient agar contains ingredients that combine with oxygen
and remove it, creating an anaerobic environment.
A chemically defined medium is one made up of extracts such
as those from yeasts, meat, or plants whose exact chemical
,composition may vary slightly.
Reducing media are complex media containing chemicals, such
as thioglycolate, that combine with oxygen, creating an
anaerobic environment.
Reducing media are complex media containing chemicals, such
as thioglycolate, that combine with oxygen, creating an
anaerobic environment.
Bacteria that can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen
(O2) are called __________.
facultative anaerobes
obligate anaerobes
microaerophiles
obligate aerobes
Facultative anaerobes - are able to use oxygen if it is present
but also to grow in the absence of oxygen, although with
decreased efficiency.

grow and a yellow halo surrounds Staphylococcus aureus
colonies is called a(n)
