Question
Chapter 6, Problem 3TMW
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Why some students should not be surprised when they had transferred some ‘gunk’ from a 2-week-old culture of bacteria to new media and the sample had grown.
Introduction:
The growth of microbe depends on various factors like the temperature,

Students have asked these similar questions
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?
The acid fast bacterium, Mycobacterium smegmatis, is relatively safe for students to work with because of its thin cell wall. If a gram stain is to be performed on this particular microbe, it often takes the gram stain reaction. Why?
A student inoculates Escherichia coli into two test tubes containing the same sterile liquid medium, except the first tube also contains a drop of a chemical disinfectant with an antimicrobial effect. After 24 hours of incubation, the first tube remains clear while the second tube becomes cloudy with bacteria. How would you go about determining if the chemical is bacteriostatic or bactericidal?
