Chapter 9, Problem 14CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The size of membrane filter, which is use to remove all bacteria from a solution containing virus.
Introduction:
Membrane filters are use for filter-sterilization process; it removes the micro-organism from a solution without destroying them. Membrane filter is use to sterilize gases and liquids, and are capable to filter both non-viable and viable particles.

A patient comes into a hospital and has what appears to be an infection. Your microscope is broken so staining is not an option. Design an experiment to determine if the infection is caused by gram positive or gram negative bacteria.
The culture primarily contains nutrients such as sugars and a gel (agar). Why don’t viruses grow in a culture like bacteria do? Explain.
A virologist needs to remove all bacteria from a solution containing viruses without removing the viruses. What should the scientist do?
