a. Explain whether or not any of the methods in fi gure 2.9 could beused to determine the total number of cells present in a patient’s specimen.b. After performing the streak plate method on a bacterial specimen, theculture was incubated for 48 hours at 37°C. Upon viewing the plate, therewas heavy growth (with no isolated colonies) in the fi rst quadrant, but nogrowth was apparent in the remaining quadrants. Please discuss errors in the procedure that could have produced this result.

Indicate the reagent used and the time of usage on each reagent.
1- Why was the T4 and E.coli mixed together in top agar and then poured on the plate instead of just spreading the two together with a glass spreader on the plate? 2- When doing the titration and isolation of the T4 phage, E.coli diluted for you to 10e7 cells/ml. why was a diluted culture used? 3- After doing the titration of T4 phage, you find your dilution plates are all TNTC. how could this have happened? 4- Could you isolate phages that infect E.coli from raw sewerage? explain.

Not only is blood agar an enriched medium that can support fastidious organism growth, but it can also serve as a differential medium in the identification of streptococcal species because of the presence of red blood cells that can be destroyed by an organism's hemolysins. Looking at this photo, how could you describe the organism growing on the surface of this blood agar plate? Multiple Choice a) Gamma-hemolytic b) Alpha-hemolytic c) Non-hemolytic d) Beta-hemolytic
