INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL & APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY

Water-related diseases due to the lack of proper sanitation and hygiene is called:

• Water-related vector borne disease

• Waterborne

• Water-washed

• Water-based

Cholera disease is caused by

• Vibrio cholerae

• Fecal Coliform

• Vibrio parahaemolyticus

• Leptospira spp.

What is the adaptation strategy of microorganism to the air environment

• Form biofilm

• Change into bacterial resting form (endospore)

• Multiply rapid in the air environment

• No strategy because microbes cannot survive in the air environment
