Microbes are often identified using biochemical tests that detect specific enzymes of metabolic pathways. e. coli typically ferments lactose, whereas shigella does not. if a pure culture of each bacterium was placed in a tube containing lactose as the only food source, and a chemical indicator changed color after a ph change, what would the tubes look like after the bacteria were incubated?

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.

bal is blood alcohol level. bac will normally be higher in a person with more body fat. so the answer to your question would be, as body fat decreases, the increasing rate of bal decreases.
