Next, several biochemical tests are run to further identify the microorganism. Lactose fermentation is run for 24 hours at 37⁰C in lactose broth containing a Durham tube and phenol red indicator. The result shows a red broth with no air bubbles in the Durham tube. What do these results mean in terms of this microorganism’s ability to ferment lactose?

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (b) melosis; plz check first.good luck

sheep is a herbivore animal whereas grasshopper belongs to the class chordates but both of them feed on greens.  

if grasshopper and sheep feeding on a pasture land, i do not think both of them will have any impact on each other. however, the number of the species can make difference. since sheep feed on greens, there is a possibility there left no pasture land for the grasshoppers or they may get extinct.
