The answer is the second one: fastidious.

Explanation for each option:

  • Needy: This term is not typically used in microbiology to describe bacteria with specific nutritional requirements.
  • Fastidious: This is the correct term used in microbiology to describe bacteria that have complex nutritional requirements and need specific nutrients to grow.
  • Bossy: This term is not relevant in the context of microbiology and does not describe bacterial nutritional needs.
  • Demanding: While this word conveys a similar idea, it is not the specific term used in microbiology for bacteria with complex nutritional needs.

In summary, bacteria that require specific nutrients and conditions to grow are referred to as fastidious.
