The Lake of the Ozarks is a human-made lake, so it collects runoff from coal strip-mining, fertilizers, resort wastewaters, and septic drainages. The average lake temperature is between 10∘C and 21∘C. Consider the physical requirements for growth and multiplication that would allow fecal coliforms to "blossom" in the Lake of the Ozarks. Which of the following would accurately describe these organisms? Check all that apply. Hyperthermophiles Psychrophiles Facultative halophiles Mesophiles Extremophiles

    Answer: Psychrophiles, Facultative halophiles, Mesophiles

    Explanation:

    Psychrophiles: These are the organisms which lives in the cold temperature, the optimum temperature for growth is 15°C.

    Facultative halophiles: These are the organisms which can survive as well as reproduce at high salt concentrations but can also survive and reproduce in non-salt concentrations.

    Mesophiles: These are the organisms which grows in moderate temperature, which is not too hot nor too cold. The temperature range is 14-21 degree Celsius.

    The above mentioned organisms are the suitable for survival in the lake ozarks this is because of the temperature range 10 - 21 degrees which is suitable for these organisms for survival.
