Which of the following bacteria is equal to the size of hyphen?
Correct answer: A. Epulopiscium fishelsoni
- A. Epulopiscium fishelsoni
- B. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- C. Escherichia coli
- D. Streptococcus pneumoniae
Explanation
The correct answer is Epulopiscium fishelsoni, which is one of the largest known bacteria, reaching lengths up to 0.5 millimeters, approximately the size of a hyphen. This makes it unique among bacteria, which are typically much smaller. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Streptococcus pneumoniae are all much smaller, generally in the range of 1-2 micrometers in size, and thus do not match the size comparison to a hyphen.
