Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cultures of a bacterial species were incubated out on the incubator shelf, in an anaerobic jars, and in a candle jar. After incubation, there was moderate growth of cultures in the candle and anaerobic jars, but heavy growth of the culture on the incubator shelf. This species is a(n)
A
aerobe.
B
anaerobe.
C
facultative anaerobe.
D
microaerophile.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cultures of a bacterial strain were incubated in a standard incubator, in an anaerobic jar, and in a candle jar. After incubation, there was moderate growth of cultures in the candle and anaerobic jars, but heavy growth of the culture in the incubator.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cultures of a bacterial species were incubated on the shelf of a refrigerator, out on a lab bench top, on the shelf of a 37° C incubator and on the shelf of a 50° C incubator. After incubation, there was no growth at 37° C and 50° C, slight growth out on the bench top and abundant growth at refrigeration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lag time is defined as the initial period in the life of a bacterial population when cells are adjusting to a new environment before starting exponential growth.

Detailed explanation-4: -During the stationary phase, the rate of bacterial cell growth is equal to the rate of bacterial cell death.
