is locally abundant. You are able to cultivate many bacteria from the spiders gut in the lab, and the spiders do not appear to be negatively affected by treatment with antibiotics that you know will inhibit the growth of these bacteria. Based on this evidence, which of the following types of symbiotic relationships do you suspect might be occurring between the spider and the bacteria?

Answer:

The right answer is c. commensalistic

Explanation:

Commensalism is a type of relationship between two individuals in which one of the individuals becomes benefitted from the other individual and the other individual is not harmed and even not get benefitted from the counterpart.

So, in this case, the bacteria that were living in the spider's gut are benefitted because they got space and environment to live and the spider is not harmed and benefitted because there is no negative effect of presence and absence of bacteria on spider's health which was proved by antibiotic treatment.

Therefore commensalistic relationship might be occurring between spider and the bacteria. So the correct answer is c.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: See explanation below

Explanation:

Tributyrin agar Is the inability of this medium to distinguish between these different enzymes a weakness in its specificity or its sensitivity.

Lipases break down lipids (fats).

Tributyrin oil is a type of lipid called a triglyceride. Other lipase tests use different fat sources such as corn oil, olive oil, peanut oil, egg yolk, and soybean oil.

Lipase allows the organisms that produce it to break down lipids into smaller fragments. Triglycerides are composed of glycerol and three fatty acids. These get broken apart and may be converted into a variety of end-products that could be used by the cell in energy production or other process.

Tributyrin oil forms an opaque suspension in the agar. When an organism produces lipase and breaks down the tributyrin, a clear halo surrounds the areas where the lipase-producing organism has grown.
