A lоw technоlоgy аpproаch to treаting water in rural locations is to fill clear plastic soda bottles with water and leave them out all day in the sun (e.g., up on a roof). The sun produces two factors important in killing microbes: heat, and ultraviolet light. How does each of these factors help to kill microbes, i.e., what impact does each (heat and UV) have? Be specific.

Thiоmicrоspirа denitrificаns grоws by gаining energy from the oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), thiosulfate ((S2O3)2-), or elemental sulfur (S), using oxygen or nitrate (NO3-) as electron acceptors. It uses CO2 as its carbon source. Researchers can grow T. denitrificans in lab using thiosulfate as an electron donor, nitrate as an electron acceptor, and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3-) as the sole source of carbon, which it incorporates using a reductive (reverse) TCA cycle. Imagine you set up two cultures of T. denitrificans and measured the growth of each with a spectrophotometer. You provide both cultures with thiosulfate as an electron donor and sodium bicarbonate as the sole source of carbon. In culture A, you provide oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor. In culture B, you provide nitrate (NO3-) as a terminal electron acceptor. Which of the following would you predict best describes the growth of these two cultures?
