Question

    Which of the following statements is/are correct?

    a.       Better the medium for growth for the microorganisms, more heat resistant are the cells or spores b.      A small amount of glucose in a medium may lead to increased heat resistant of the microorganisms c.       Mg2+ is said to increase the heat resistance of the bacterial spores d.      Mg2+ is said to decrease the heat resistance of the bacterial spores
    A a,b,c Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B a,c,d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C a,b,c,d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D b,c,d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E a,b,d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
