If you are working at a sewage treatment plant, which microbial process would you use to reduce nitrates in sewage before releasing into rivers? Why? O nitirification to convert nitrates to unusable nitrites; to increase algal growth in water O denitrification; to reduce HAB's O nitroge fixiation; to increase dissolved oxygen in river water nitrification; to make water richer in fertilizers when used by farmers

Which of the following statements is not true about bioremediation and biodegradation? Microbes played a critical role in metabolizing the crude oil in the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil-degrading microbes have enzymes that use molecules in the oil as substrates. Phosphorus and nitrogen stimulate the growth of oil-degrading microbes. dding easily metabolized organic matter such as glucose increases biodegradation. The biodegradation of plastics is fast because of their chemical structure and properties.
The followings list the false statements about microbial growth curves EXCEPT* Log phase indicates that microbes need to adjust to a new environment of food Microbes grow exponentially when they are in the stationary phase Microbes grow exponentially when the conditions of the food are favorable for multiplication O Microbes start to die when they are in the lag phase O Lag phase indicates that microbes does not have enough time to grow
