Answer:

It is named SF for <em>Streptococcus faecalis.</em>

The genus Streptococcus will be cultured.

Explanation:

  • A selective media is the one which allows the growth of only certain organism with selective properties to ensure that any other organisms do not grow on the media.
  • <em>Streptococcus faecalis</em> is a gram-positive cocci which contaminates milk and water through the fecal route as it inhabits the gastrointestinal tracts of several mammals including humans.

C. quorum sensing

D. quorum settling

Answer:

C. quorum sensing

Explanation:

Quorum sensing is the gene regulation mechanism used by the bacteria to communicate with the other bacteria.  The quorum sensing process depends on the number of bacterial cells or the density of the cells.

When the bacterial number increase in number then the bacterial cells send the signal to the nearby cells and and regulates the expression of the gene.  In the given question, the same chemical signal process depends on the density of the cell and thus quorum sensing is correct.
