Question

Which of the following are most likely to be found growing on salted or dried foods?
A) Fungi
B) Bacteria
C) Viruses
D) Protozoa
E) Fungi AND bacteria

Accepted Answer

Fungi are known to be able to grow in high salt and low water environments, making them more likely to be found on salted or dried foods. Bacteria, on the other hand, require more moisture to grow and are less likely to be found in these conditions. Viruses and protozoa do not typically grow on food.
