The gram-positive bacterium having low G+C content contaminating the unpasteurized milk is Listeria monocytogenes. This bacterium can be found in the dairy products. When an individual is infected it can cause mild infections, but when it infects a pregnant female, it is capable of causing serious harm to the health of the woman as well as the fetus. In most cases, it may cause stillbirth or abortion.

Hence, the answer is 'Listeria monocytogenes'.

What succession is a man-made secondary succession that occurs when a farmer stops cultivating their field for a lengthy period
harkovskaia [24]

The Old field succession is a man-made secondary succession that occurs when a farmer stops cultivating their field for a lengthy period of time.

The definition of old fields, which has been a topic of discussion among modern ecologists for some time, is that they are an intermediate stage in the natural succession of an ecosystem moving towards its climax community. Many times, old field sites are marginal lands with poor soil quality that are unfit for pasture or farming.

The terms "grass and forbs stage," "shrub and sapling stage," "pole stage," and "mature forest" are frequently used by foresters to describe these stages. Forest succession is the process by which plant communities develop in a regular, predictable manner.

When a farmer gives up on a farm, the abandoned land quickly becomes overgrown with weeds and grass.

To learn more about succession refer to:

Describe one way the plants in a desert biome are adapted to survive?​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The leaves and stems of many desert plants have a thick, waxy covering. This waxy substance does not cover the stomata, but it covers most of the leaves, keeping the plants cooler and reducing evaporative loss. Small leaves on desert plants also help reduce moisture loss during transpiration.
