Answer:

Yeast, fungi, and E. coli.

Explanation:

Filter with a 0.22 μm size will filter out the drug solution and remove effectively yeast, fungi and E. coli but it can not remove effectively the small viruses because the size of small viruses are in nano meter while the filter pore size is 0.22 μm.

So, virus will not remove effectively from filter while yeast size is 3 - 4 μm, fungi size is 2 - 10 μm which can remove easily.
