After performing the catalase test from question 17, your bacteria produce the result on the RIGHT of this slide. The left side shows you what the opposite result would look like. What does this conclusion tell you about your bacterial isolate AND its ability to defend itself against hydrogen peroxide?

How would you produce a 10^-1 dilution if a 3 mL bacterial sample using the entire 3 mL volume? suppose your professor handed you a test tube with 2.0 mL of an E. coli broth culture in it and told you to make a 10^-1 dilution of the entire culture. Explain how you would do this. Show your calculations.

In an experiment, the bacteria were placed in dropper bottles containing glycerol as a carbonsource. Why did the culture have to be incubated for an hour in the new media?
Why do you suppose endospore-forming bacteria are commonly found in the soil? Suppose your unknown bacteria is a Gram-negative rod. You decide to perform an endospore stain, thinking it will help you with the identification of the organism. What will you see, and why?
Your instructor asks you to isolate and identify the organisms in an unknown culture. You find that the culture contains two gramnegative bacilli that produce swarming colonies. What biochemical test would you use to identify the bacilli? Justify your answer.
If the temperature of the incubator were to be increased from 35 to 45°C, how would this affect the bacterial growth curve of E. coli?
Suppose your Professor handed you a test tube with 2.0mL of E.coli broth culture and told you to make a 10-1 dilution of the ENTIRE culture. Explain how you would do this.
From a soup sample, 1 mL of sample is taken and diluted in 99 mL of soup medium. culture, later, this suspension is analyzed in the Petroff-Hausser chamber, It is determined that the total number of bacteria found is 53 bacteria per square, if the chamber has 25 squares, how many bacteria are found in the chamber? initial juice sample?
MacConkey agar is often used to differentiate E. coli from other Gram-negative rods. The recipe for MacConkey agar is given in the table. Suppose you plated a mixed culture of Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Streptococcus pyogenes onto a MacConkey agar plate. Which species would grow, and how would they appear? Why would the others NOT grow?
