C. A chlorophyll containing photosynthetic bacterium.
D. Sulfur-oxidizing bacterial species.
E. A bacterium isolated from the blood of a dead cow and suspected as causing the death.
F. An organism discovered living deep in the ocean near a volcanic vent.

A. Dust from your fingers streaked on a nutrient agar plate and incubated at room temperature.- obligate aerobe(that live in oxygen and die in its absence)
B. A bacterium isolated from the Great Salt Lake- halophile(that live in very high salt concentration)
C. A chlorophyll-containing photosynthetic bacterium.- photoautotroph( that perform photosynthesis with the help of chlorophyll, sunlight, CO2 and water and give rise to glucose, energy and oxygen)
D. Sulfur-oxidizing bacterial species.- chemoautotrophs( that use chemical energy obtained from the oxidation of certain chemicals present in the environment.)
E. A bacterium isolated from the blood of a dead cow and suspected as causing the death.-obligate anaerobe(found in the absence of oxygen and they die in the oxygen)
F. An organism discovered living deep in the ocean near a volcanic vent- Thermophile(found at very high temperatures)
G. A bacterium isolated from Old Faithful (a hot water geyser) in Yellowstone National Park.- thermophile
