What groups of organisms is among the most abundant on earth?

Disinfection of impression materials is usually accomplished by a. sterilization with high heat. b. spray or immersion in a chemical disinfectant. c. sterilization with steam under pressure. d. allowing the impression to sit 24 hours in water until all the organisms die.

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?

Can someone give me the answers to this?
