Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
A bacterial cell such as Escherichia coli is easily cultured in an aqueous solution containing glucose and various inorganic ions.
In this medium, at 37°C, the cell mass divides and doubles in about 60 minutes.
The generation time can be reduced to 20 minutes if purines and pyrimidines as well as amino acids are added to the medium.
E.coli is Gram negative bacteria as it gives negative result on treatment with gram stain.
