Amicrobe is discovered growing beside a deep sea thermal vent near the galapagos islands. when researchers bring a sample up to the surface and try to grow it in a lab at room temperature in a normal incubator, they are unsuccessful. why? a. a barophilic organism might not grow since the pressure is not the same at sea-level as it is on the ocean floor b. salt concentrations might be different in the media the researchers are attempting to use and the salt water the microbe is used to living in, causing osmotic pressure differences that the microbe cannot tolerate. c. all of the above d. it is possible the microbe is a strict anaerobe and is poisoned by the air (oxygen) in the lab e. it may be a psychrophile - enzymes in the cells are probably outside of their normal operating range at room temperature and therefore nonfunctional
