Snomax should not be considered as a genetically modified organism (GMO), but Ice-minus should.

GMOs are defined as any organism whose genes have been altered in order to give it characteristics and functions that are not part of its nature. Since <span>Pseudomonas syringae is a naturally ice-nucleating bacteria, Snomax is in accordance to the organism's nature. However, by deleting its ice-nucleating gene, and turning it into an anti-freeze for crops, the bacteria can be considered as altered.</span>

mash [69]

The potential ecological niche of an organism is its fundamental niche, while the niche an organism actually occupies is its realized niche.

<h3>What is called Ecological Niche?</h3>

Ecology uses the term "niche" to describe a species' role in a community. A species' niche is defined by the physical, environmental, and interactions with other species requirements (such as temperature or topography) (like predation or competition) Ecology defines a niche as the compatibility of a species with a certain environmental circumstance. It explains how an organism or population reacts to the distribution of resources and rivals (for instance, by expanding when resources are abundant and shrinking when predators, parasites, and pathogens are scarce), as well as how it changes those same factors.
