Answer:

BSL or the biological safety levels refers to an array of protections consigned to autoclave-associated activities, which occurs in specific biological labs. The BSL-3 refers to the biosafety level that generally comprises work on microbes, which are either exotic or indigenous and can result in potentially or extreme lethal disease via inhalation. The examples of microorganisms that are handled in BSL=3 comprises West Nile virus, yellow fever, and the bacteria, which leads to tuberculosis.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Hyphae

Explanation:

It is given that the bat affected by fungus, Geomyces destructans (Gd) consists of delicate, white filamentous mat on their muzzles which could be possibly the hyphae.

It is so because the hyphae is made of cells having tubular cell walls which more or less look like internal cross-walls having large pores to absorb nutrients from the surrounding environment (i.e bat’s body) and transport them to thallus. Hyphae are basically long thread like structures that spread throughout their food and release enzymes that break down the food
