Which of the following is FALSE about the Nitrate Reductaion Test, procedure and interpretation? Question 2 options: A Nitrate medium contains 0.1% potassium nitrate as a substrate B Reagent A and B are used to determine the presence of nitrite C When zinc is added, it will react with any nitrate and turn red D A tube with red after zinc is a positive test for nitrate reduction E A tube that turns red after reagent A and B is a positive test
The stool samples submitted by the two friends were enumerated following enrichment. The technician prepared serial dilutions. A volume of 1 mL of stool was mixed with 1 mL of diluent. From this dilution, they then took 1 mL and added it into 1 mL of diluent. The operation was repeated 5 more times. After finishing the serial dilution, 100 μ�L has been spread on different TSA plates. Following 24h incubation, the technician counted 23 colonies at the dilution 4. What is the bacterial concentration in the enriched culture? [1 mark]
1. Place 5 mL of starch solution in the test tubes. 2. Heat the test tubes to boiling and add to 1 mL of saliva, Cool and then continue heating but keep the test tube in a water bath at temperature of 40oC 3. At 5 minutes interval for 30 minutes take a drop of the reaction mixture from each test tube and test with Iodine solution (use a spot plate for the test and stir the contents of the test tube before taking a drop). Tabulate the results. 4. What would be the color of saliva extract with iodine in 3, 6, 9,12,15,and 18 minutes
When one uses Benedict’s reagent added to UNKNOWN samples taken and added (as a liquid) by a pipette (in our homes we call them eye-droppers) from each container into a labeled by number test tube. The seven labeled test tubes are then immersed into a beaker on a hot plate with warm water in it (called a water bath): Samples : ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN All seven UNKNOWNS having Benedicts reagent added to them then change from transparent clear after to the same color as the Benedict’s reagent, when the blue colored reagent is added to them. They are all (all seven unknowns) now blue in color. Then the seven test tubes are immersed in a warm water bath. What is seen by you is that NO color change occurs initially when they are all immersed in warm water. THEN, over a five to ten-minute window of time as you watch the unknown test tube containing samples in the warm water bath, the test tubes containing unknowns ONE and FOUR change in color, to your eyes, to an identified…
A researcher analyzes unpasteurized apple juice suspecting E. coli contamination of the juice. He/she plates out 0.1 mL of a 10-2 dilution of juice on each plate and grows up the plates. He/she then counts colonies on each plate. Plate 1 – 242 colonies Plate 2 – 237 colonies Plate 3 – 249 colonies Calculate the CFU/mL for this juice. Show formula used and include units
1 ml of a patient sample was added to 999 ml of media. From this 0.1 ml was transferred to the plate. After 24 hours there were 60 colonies on the plate. What is the dilution factor here. What's the number of bacteria per ml of the original patient sample. a. The dilution factor is 1000. The patient sample contains 600 cells/ml b. The dilution factor is 1000. The patient sample contains 600,000 cells/ml c. The dilution factor is 100. The patient sample contains 600,000 cells/ml d. The dilution factor is 10. The patient sample contains 6000 cells/ml e. It cant be determined its too many cells
You carry out a dilution adding 20 mL of solution A and 80 mL of water. This dilution can NOT be expressed as: 1 in 4 dilution. 1:4 dilution. 5 fold dilution. having a dilution factor of 5. 1 in 5 dilution.
TRUE or FALSE only! 1. Pure cultures contain only a single species and no other organisms. 2. Pour plate method is done by pipetting liquified warm agar into a petri dish containing an inoculum. 3. Flaming the test tube’s mouth is necessary so that the moisture that accumulated will evaporate. 4. After Gram staining, the Gram positive bacteria will appear blue while the Gram negative bacteria will appear red.
