Question

True / Fasle

1. Nearly every environment contains microorganisms since they can be found in water, soil, air, on the surface of living things, and within them.
2. A culture containing an unadulterated species of cells is called pure culture. By using aseptic technique, it helps maintain a clear culture and prevent contamination from any outside sources.

Answer 1

Answer: True, both of the given statements are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Nearly all the environment contains microorganism whether it is soil, air, water or any other surface. They have the ability of live in the extreme conditions.

There are different forms of bacteria found at different places. Some of them are thermophiles that at found in extremely hot conditions such as thermal vents.

The organism like Psychrophiles are the microorganisms that have the ability to survive at lower temperatures. Example: bacteria found in polar regions.

2. A culture can be defined as a pure culture if it has an unadulterated species of bacteria. It has no contamination and if a small inoculum from the pure sample is streaked on a plate then a pure culture of the sample is obtained.

This should be done in an aseptic condition so that the bacterial species should be free from contamination.
