5. Which of the following (there may be more than one correct answer) are feasible application of unknown bacterial species identification? (5 pts)

a. Environmental microbiologists studying ape species to determine which would be the best model organisms to simulate human diseases

b. Environmental microbiologists identifying species to monitor ecosystems' response to stress.

c. Agricultural microbiologists identifying species to treat outbreaks among crops or livestock.

d. Clinical microbiologists studying the microorganisms to determine which would best produce synthetic plastics

e. Agricultural microbiologists studying the microorganisms that maintain soil fertility by transforming nutrients through degradation and nitrogen fixation

Explanation / Answer

Microorganisms are unique when compared to other kinds of organisms. Microorganisms are the most widely distributed living things in the universe and inherently colonize. Furthermore, specific kinds of microorganisms living in diverse communities of ecosystem perform interactions essential to sustaining the biosphere.

The statements‘d’ and ‘e’ are correct

In present world the plastic consumption is so high, the plastic degradation also takes many years so, the synthetic plastic (i.e synthesis of plastic from microorganisms) would be helpful for environment and in words of the pollution.

The statement ‘e’ – to identify the new microorganisms in this area, it would be helpful to lower the investment in chemical fertilizers.
