Topic 1: Physical Requirements
$100 Answer
How is a Psychrophile different from a
Psychrotroph?
A Psychrophile is a microbe that can
grow at 0oC, grows optimally at 15oC, and
usually won’t grow at 25oC.
A Psychrotroph is a microbe that can
grow at 0o C, grows optimally at 20o -30oC,
and usually won’t grow above 40oC.

Topic 3: Growth of Bacterial Cultures
$200 Answer
Why can’t obligate anaerobes live in the
presence of atmospheric oxygen (yes,
they die, but why?)
Correct answer: Obligate anaerobes do
not produce the enzymes (superoxide
dismutase, catalase, peroxidase)
necessary to neutralize the toxic forms
oxygen takes in the cell
