Barophilic prokaryotes:
Options
- Agrow and multiply in very deep marine sediments
- Boccur in water containing high concentrations of barium hydroxide
- Creadily grow and divide in sea water enriched in any soluble salt of barium
- Dgrow slowly in highly alkaline frozen lakes at high altitudes.
Correct answer
A. grow and multiply in very deep marine sediments
Step-by-step solution
Barophilic prokaryotes grow and multiply in very deep marine sediments. A barophilic prokaryote, also generally defined as a barophile, is a type of organism which occurs and exists at high-pressure zones, like a deep-sea bacterium and archaebacteria.
