Question 1

Can the biological species concept be applied to bacterial species M. bovis and M. tuberculosis?

I think the answer is (A) but would appreciate confirmation and reasoning.

A) No, M. bovis and M. tuberculosis don't reproduce sexually so species can't be defined based on the ability to interbreed.

B) Yes, they are living, biological, organisms so the biological species concept is applicable.

C) No, M. bovis and M. tuberculosis inhabit different hosts so don't interbreed in nature.

Question 2

Consider a group of bacteria that you are trying to classify as either the same species or different species. They are morphologically identical, reproduce by binary fission but live in slightly different environments. Which species concept(s) could be applied to these organisms?

There are 2 answers. 1 answer is Phylogenetic (C), but im not sure what the second answer should be. My guess is Ecological but I'm not sure.

A) Binomial

B) Morphological

C) Phylogenetic

D) Ecological

E) Biological

    10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
