Although growth rate is variable among types of bacteria, the growth of bacteria is dependent on:
A) Biofilm communication
B) Availability of nutrients
C) An intact protein capsid
D) Individual cell motility
Ans: B
Feedback:
Bacterial growth is dependent upon the availability of nutrients and physical growth conditions. Bacteria prefer to colonize as biofilm and communicate with other bacteria within the biofilm, but biofilm is not necessary for growth. Viruses (not bacteria) form a capsid. Although some bacteria have projections for motility, these are not necessary for growth.
