One of your first ideas is to look at probiotics to enhance the host's normal microbiota. the use of probiotics to stimulate the normal intestinal microbiota and promote general health has gained increasing popularity in recent years. there are several ways in which our normal microbiota protects us from infection. which of the mechanisms below is not a protective mechanism of our normal microbiota?

Normal microbiota directly kill invading organisms.

Some bacteria that reside in our body are useful to combat pathogenic microorganisms. Those bacteria, like lactobacillus and E.coli, inhibit the growth of those pathogenic organisms by taking, for example, oxygen and nutrients from them, or even changing the local ph. They can also produce metabolites that make the environment impossible to live for the intruders.

The answer would be interphase.

Hunting in the darksome fish rely on senses beyond sight. in the darkness of the marianas trench, a fish called the rattail has an extremely sensitive sense of smell. the fish uses scent, rather than sight, to steer toward food. once it's near food, the rattail uses a special organ on the bottom of its chin to guide itself by feel.marine snowone staple of the deep sea diet is "marine snow," flakes of organic, edible substances that sink down from the upper ocean. animals at the ocean's bottom find sustenance in everything from the bodies of dead creatures to fecal matter. marine snow is diverse enough to support numerous species. for instance, several species of snails and worms feed exclusively on deceased whales.microorganismsthe deep sea is an intricate ecosystem, and even the ocean floor itself plays a part. hydrothermal vents are cracks in the sea floor where erupting magma mixes with ocean water to produce plumes of hot, sulfur-rich chemicals. some microbes can use these chemicals for energy, sustaining their existence and that of the animals who depend on their roles in the deep sea food chain.
