Concept explainers

Modes of Nutrition

It is a biological process of providing or obtaining food that is necessary for growth and health. It includes many physiological processes - absorption, ingestion, assimilation, catabolism, excretion, etc. In biology, the science that deals with nutrition's physiological and chemical processes are called "nutritional science."

Question

100%

Imagine that you have set up a Kirby Bauer experiment on Mueller Hinton agar (non-selective agar) in order to test if Escherichia coli is susceptible or resistant to Drug X. After 24 hours, you notice a zone of inhibition (clear zone) around your antibiotic disc and determine that E. coli is susceptible to Drug X. You then take a cotton swab and subculture a sample from this zone of inhibition (where no growth was apparent) onto a new agar plate without antibiotics and after 24 hours you see growth of E.coli. What can you conclude about Drug X?

The image analyzer shows a photograph of six different antibiotic samples placed in a Petri dish where bacteria were spread out and allowed to grow. Each sample has a zone of inhibition around it where no bacteria grew.
You are using bacterium E.coli to synthesize a protein from recombinant DNA. The protein remains in the bacterium, so you must lyse the cell in order obtain the protein. Describe the steps you will take to disrupt the microbe.
Below is a diagram of four different antibiotics (numbered 1-4) that are being tested in a petri dish inoculated with bacteria. After a sufficient incubation period, bacterial growth occurred except in the zones of inhibition (shown with dotted lines in the diagram) around the antibiotics. Based on the results shown here, would it be reasonable to conclude that the most effective antibiotic in this example would be an effective antibiotic against any bacterium? Why or why not?

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
Which of the following is a reason to run simultaneous tests on known positive and negative controls when identifying an unknown microbe using biochemical tests? The controls maintain the differential qualities of the test medium The controls can show if there was contamination of the tubes with another species The controls will ensure that the unknown microbe multiplies on the medium The controls can show if there was a recent mutation in your unknown microbe
This diagram shows the filter paper method used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of chemical agents, heavy metals, and antibiotics on bacterial growth. A culture of a test bacterium is spread uniformly over the surface of an agar plate. Small filter paper discs containing the material to be tested are then placed on the surface of the medium. A disc that has been soaked in sterile distilled water is sometimes added as a control. After incubation, a lawn (film of growth) will cover the plate, but a clear zone will surround those discs that contain an inhibitory compound. The size of the zone reflects several factors, one of which is the effectiveness of the inhibitory agent. What are two other factors that might affect the size of the zone of inhibition? What is the purpose of the control disc? If a clear area were apparent around the control disc, how would you interpret the observation?
