You are given an unknown bacteria on an agar (TSA) plate and asked to identify it. Identify four tests/experiments that you would perform in the correct order in order to identify the bacteria. At the minimum, you want to identify cell morphology (stain used), growth characteristics, nutrients used, physical conditions, chemical conditions.

1. efficient use of space

2. elimination of groundwater contamination

3. energy generation

4. lower carbon footprint

the cost of mining is extremely low compared to the money earned from mining, creating income to improve the environment.

measuring light intensity

light meters can be used to measure light intensity. the meter is held at the soil surface and pointed in the direction of the maximum light intensity, and then the meter is read.

errors can be made when measuring light intensity by accidentally shading the light meter. the reliability of the results can be checked by taking many samples.
