Which of the following pairs is mismatched? A) actinomycetes - reproduce by fragmentation B) archaea - extremophiles C) chemoautotrophic bacteria - fix atmospheric nitrogen D) Cytophaga - a gliding, nonfruiting bacterium E) dissimilatory sulfate- reducing bacteria - produce H₂S

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chemoautotrophic bacteria do not fix atmospheric nitrogen. Instead, certain species of bacteria called diazotrophs are known for their ability to convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into a form that can be used by plants and other organisms. Some examples of diazotrophs include symbiotic bacteria like Rhizobium, as well as free-living bacteria like Azotobacter and Klebsiella.
