A) The bacteria would congregate toward the middle of the algal filament.
B) The bacteria would be relatively evenly distributed along the algal filament.
C) The number of bacteria present would decrease due to an increase in the carbon dioxide concentration.
D) The number of bacteria present would increase due to an increase in the carbon dioxide concentration.
E) The number of bacteria would decrease due to a decrease in the temperature along the length of the algal filament.
