Chapter 9, Problem 10CT
Summary Introduction
To design:
The experiment to determine the amount of the antimicrobial chemical is bacteriostatic or bactericidal against E.coli.
Introduction:
Trypan blue assay is used to determine whether a sample contains a living or dead cell. The sample cells are stained with a trypan blue dye as it is only permeable to dead cells and impermeable to viable cells.

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?
What will be the results of the following experiment with explanations:
A. Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria were placed into 0.2% NaCl solution.
B. Gram-negative bacterial isolate was placed into 0. 3% NaCl solution containing only Lysozyme enzyme.
C. Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria were placed into 0.09% NaCl solution containing only Penicillin?
Suppose your Professor handed you a test tube with 2.0mL of E.coli broth culture and told you to make a 10-1 dilution of the ENTIRE culture. Explain how you would do this.
