Question
Chapter 27.5, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The processes used by researchers that helped them to test their hypothesis that soil bacteria can use antibiotics as a food source.
Introduction: Dantas and colleagues performed series of experiments on soil bacteria for identifying certain important features related to commercial importance of soil bacteria. During their experiment, they cultivated bacteria from eleven different soils forming a diverse collection of different species.

Q What are the major advantages of radioisotopicmethods in the study of microbial ecology? What typeof controls (discuss at least two) would you include in aradioisotopic experiment to show 14CO2 incorporationby phototrophic bacteria or to show 35SO422 reductionby sulfate-reducing bacteria?
Q7) Evolutionarily, why are antibiotics produced? How concentrated are microbes in the soil (citation for this one please)? Knowing that, why do you think the soil is the most likely place to find antibiotics, compared to other environments?
Q2) How could you determine if the cloudiness (turbidity) of your nutrient broth was from a mixture of microbes or from the growth of only one kind of microbe?
- How do you know if your bacteria can move from the ‘agar deep’?
- Why is aseptic transfer technique important?
