READ CAREFULLY! Consider the surface area-to-volume (S/V) ratio for the cell of the following microorganisms: Pseudomonas aeruginosa S/V ratio = 2.7Thermoplasma aquaticus S/V ratio = 35 Which microbe will be less efficient at exchanging nutrients and wastes with the environment that surrounds it?

Testing (cont.) The blood culture tests were negative for growth. The stool specimen grew several types of colonies on the BAP incubated aerobically, but only one type of bacteria grew on the anaerobic BAP, and this same type of bacteria also grew on the antibiotic-containing media incubated anaerobically. There was no growth on the antibiotic-containing media when the plate was incubated in air.   Question: Blood agar is made from a protein base agar to which blood is added. Name the pathway(s) this bacteria may be using for ATP synthesis. (hint: think about the type of media BAP is and the environment in which the sample bacteria grew in)
