Your outdoor pond filled with ornamental carp has just become the sight of an aquacultural disaster. Eighty percent of your prized (and expensive!!!) fish have succumbed to an unknown disorder. You decide to rush the dead fish to the microbiology lab and try to determine if bacteria may have been the cause. From each of the dead fish, you isolate and obtain pure cultures of four different types of bacteria (A, B, C, D). You also decide to test some of your healthy fish and obtain pure cultures of bacterial types A and D. You decide: a. That bacterial types Band C must be the cause of death
b. That bacterial type B must be the cause of death
c. To infect some healthy fish with type B, some with type C, and some with both Band C, to see if any of these infections results in the death of the healthy fish.
d. To perform the infections in choice C., and then see if you can isolate the bacteria that you introduced from any fish that may have died.
e. To quit keeping ornamental carp! Clear my choice
