A water sample could be negative for enterococcus and coliforms and still be a major public health threat. why?

1 answer:

3 0

1. Enterococcus and coliforms can enter the water through feces. Although a water sample is negative for these bacteria, it could still be infected by pathogens from other sources than feces.

2. Culture media are sterilized by filtration because they could contain antibiotics or serum which deteriorate upon heat. Filtration is used in sanitation to remove large particles.

3. In the membrane filter technique, it is assumed that all viable bacteria will form colonies. This means that formed colonies develop from the viable bacteria so that the number of colonies suggests the number of bacteria.

4. E. coli is negative for Citrate and Voges-Proskauer tests, and is positive for Indole and Methyl red tests.

5. The answer is yes because eosin-methylene blue agar is inhibitory to Gram+ bacteria.

Hello. You forgot to enter the necessary data for this question to be answered. The data are shown in the figure attached below:

Answer:

Red-capped Robin is the group of Robins that share a more recent common ancestor with the Norfolk Island robins.

Explanation:

Red-capped Robin is the group of Robins that share a more recent common ancestor with the Norfolk Island robins, this can be seen by the degree of genetic similarity between these two species, since the Red-capped Robin has 98.2% of genetic similarity .

When two species have the same common ancestor, these species have great genetic similarity and the more recent this ancestry is, the greater the genetic similarity between the species.

If, by examining your family history and DNA, you could tell how long you would naturally live and which, if any, genetic condit

aev [14]

Well my family has a genetic condition but i wouldnt want to know about my chances of catching it. I would rather remain blind to how long and enjoy how long my life lasts. I wouldnt want to know because then I would feel like I have a time limit. By not knowing I can enjoy every breath i take. Also by not knowing I wont have to worry my kids about me. Like last time I had a cold they called a doctor and scheduled an appointment just for a few sneezes and coughs. Also if I told my kids then they would feel like they have a time limit on their lives to. I am just going to live my life to the best. Plus if anything does happen to me I am only like two minutes away from a hospital.
