In a microbiology laboratory, the technician uses heat to sterilise the nutrient solution that is used to grow a fungus. When the heating system broke down, he sterilised the solution by passing it (in a sterile environment) through a sterile filter with a pore size of 0.2 micrometers. when the fungs was grown on the filtered nutrient solution, it stopped growing and looked unhealthy within a few days. which statements is the most likely explanation for the observed effects on the fungus ?
