The agriculture is one of the biggest contaminators of the groundwater. The contamination happens through the usage of chemicals in the agriculture for protection of the plants, or to encourage their growth. Part of those chemicals mange to wash through the soil and reach the groundwater. The majority of the groundwater is connected with the lakes and the rivers, thus the chemicals reach those waters as well. This makes these waters unusable for the humans because they are becoming toxic. The end result would be much less freshwater for usage, be it fro drinking, or for housework, as it can cause serious damage and even death if used, so a shortage of water would be inevitable.

This does not trigger an immune response. The virus though has a code to reverse its latent state, which at that point would cause symptoms.

patriot [66]

Under the following conditions does mushroom cellobiase generate glucose most efficiently- Temperature- 50 to 55 degree Celsius and pH 4.8.

Cellobiase is an enzyme found in fungi that is used for the last process of breaking down of the cellulose into glucose to produce energy.

As every enzyme works optimally in a certain temperature and pH condition the ideal temperature for the working of cellobiase is 50 to 55 degree celsius and ideal pH is 4.8.

These enzyme is essential for the process of breakdown of cellulose hence organisms like fungi and bacteria possessing this enzyme is only able to digest the cellulose.
