a) 1. What is the theory upon which intermittent sterilization is based? (B) Is dry or moist heat more efficient as a sterilizing agent? Why? (C) When would it be necessary to use aseptic techniques when inoculating a tube of nutrient broth with dirt? (D)Why do some microorganisms characteristically form a growth of the pellicle type? What environmental factors might alter the formation of a pellicle? (This is not a graded assignment)
