The Methodology of Microbial Ecology Includes

Question

The methodology of microbial ecology includes
A) enrichment and isolation of specific microbes.
B) cell-staining methods.
C) gene, transcript, and protein characterization.
D) enrichment and isolation of specific microbes, cell-staining, and characterization of genes, transcripts, and proteins.

Accepted Answer

The methodology of microbial ecology involves multiple approaches, including enrichment and isolation of specific microbes, cell-staining methods for observation and identification, and characterization of genes, transcripts, and proteins to understand the functional roles of microorganisms in their environment. Therefore, option D, which includes all of these techniques, is the best choice.
