There are two types of photoreceptor cells, the cones, and the rods.
The cones adapt our vision to bright light and allow us to see colors. On the other hand, rods photoreceptors make us see in the dark and do not perceive many colors; that is why we can not distinguish colors in the dark. Also, they provide peripheral vision since they are on the external edges of the retina.
Psychrotrophs are those bacteria which can tolerate cold temperature and have optimum growth above 15 degree Celsius.
Halophiles prefer high salt concentration.
Mesophiles prefer temperatures with a average of 37 degree Celsius.
Anaerobes grow in absence of oxygen.
In the given experiment, none of the bacterial cultures were placed in saline or anaerobic conditions. So, the bacterial species is not an anaerobe or halophile.
Again the cultures did not show growth at 37 degree celsius so they are not mesophiles.
Maximum growth at 22 degree celsius and a little growth in refrigerator make it obvious that the species is a Psychrotroph.
