A microbiology student was given a mixed culture of two different gram positive bacteria species to grow into a culture medium using correct aseptic techniques. After two days,one gram positive bacterial species grew on the media and the growth appeared red on the surface of the medium. Tthe second gram positive bacterial species grew and the growth appeared yellow on the surface of the medium. What is the possible explanation for the differences in the color of the bacterial growth? A. the culture was contaminated B. the microbiologist put too much inoculum on the culture medium C. the medium was a selective medium D. the medium was differential
Using your fingers, you are asked to aseptically touch the surface of a sterile agar plate. Illustrate the possible result from this step if your fingers are (a) unwashed – touched various things prior to placing on agar surface, and (b) washed with soap or disinfected with 70% alcohol. Describe the relative abundance of microbial growth observed on the plates. List and draw the possible characteristics of an isolated bacterial colony that can be observed based on type of (a) margin, (b) elevation, (c) texture, and (d) optical property.
propose a hypothesis regarding the organisms (staphylococcus, escherichia, pseudomonas, and bacillus) that will be resistant to the most disinfectants, and why? if the hypothesis is supported, what specific experimental results will be observed? what would be the independent and dependent variable? zone size, disinfectant type, colony count
Which of the following agents if introduced into a growing culture of bacteria would halt growth but if removed would allow growth to continue? A) Antiseptic B) Bacteriostatic agent C) Disinfectant D) Bactericidal agent E) Sterilizing agent
Which ONE of the following best describes the abbreviation ‘MIC’? Select one: A. The lowest concentration at which no microbial growth is detected B. The lowest concentration that indicates whether an antibiotic would be effective or not C. The lowest concentration which is not toxic to the host D. The lowest concentration which is least effective against the organism E. The lowest concentration which kills the organism
In General, the most suitable description for the origin of each colony formed on the surface of a solid medium is: a-Cluster of cells b-Colony forming unit c-Pair of cells d-Single cell
How do you observe growth in liquid microbiological media? a) the medium is cloudy or turbid b) colonies appear on the surface of the medium c) the medium becomes solid d) colonies appear distributes throughout the medium
You obtain a 1 mL sample of contaminated drinking water in order to calculate the number of fecal bacteria in the water. The 1 mL sample is diluted into a first bottle with 99 mL of sterile saline. One mL from the first bottle is transferred into a second bottle of saline containing 9 mL. Finally, 1 mL from the second bottle is transferred to a third bottle with 9 mL of saline. You create two spread plates from the third bottle: plating 0.1 mL results in 106 colonies, while plating 1 mL results in 562 colonies. How many fecal bacteria per mL are in the drinking water? This is a homework assignment, and I am struggling to do this correctly. Thanks for your help.
After an antimicrobial drugs test, the following results were obtained from a disk-diffusion test against a bacterium. Antiboitic A= 6mm Antibiotic B= 18mm Antibiotic C= 11mm Antibiotic D= 19mm which drug should be used to treat an infect caused by this bacterium (assuming everything else is equal about these antibiotics)?
You found a bright blue growth on a tomato you had left on your kitchen counter. You’ve never seen a microorganism that color, and you want to know what it is. You take the tomato into the lab, sterilize an inoculating loop, transfer a sample from the tomato to a Nutrient Agar Petri dish, and incubate it at 37°C. But when you come back two days later, your Petri dish is empty. Why might this be? Be specific about what might have happened. How would you test your hypothesis?
Which of the following statements regarding microbial control agents is FALSE? Question options: strongly acidic or alkaline disinfectants are typically more effective than neutral pH agents the presence of extracellular fats typically decreases the effectiveness of control agents a warmed disinfectant is typically more effective than the same disinfectant at room temperature substances secreted by members of biofilms increase protection against microbial control agents all of these statements are TRUE bacterial endospores are more resistant to antimicrobial treatment than vegetative bacterial cells
