Concept explainers

Microbial Growth

The development of microbial growth is influenced by various natural conditions (both physical and synthetic) like pH, temperature, saltiness, gas focus (O2, CO2, and H2), nutrients, water action, and assimilation. Knowing the distinctive physical and chemical factors that influence the development and endurance of microbial growth in the climate will assist with reinforcing endeavors outfitted towards their control. These lines lessen or diminish their harmful impacts on humankind, creatures, and the climate.

In a bacterial culture on an agar plate, what is a zone of inhibition? An area where the growth of bacteria is increased compared to the rest of the agar plate An area where the growth of bacteria is prevented or reduced compared to the rest of the agar plate An area where the growth of bacteria is not affected compared to the rest of the agar plate An area where the the agar becomes contaminated with mold
MacConkey agar inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria while encouraging the growth of Gram-negative bacteria. It also can determine if some bacteria use lactose. Define what type(s) of media MacConkey agar is, using as many terms in the answer list as are applicable.
After quick-characterization by staining, specialized growth media can be used to indicate further biochemical characteristics of an unknown organism. These tests use visual outcomes, such as colors, patterns, and changes in appearance. The results can be interpreted to then assign a characteristic to the unknown organism. For example, a color change may happen when an unknown organism is incubated in a mixed sugar broth. The color could indicate which sugar was (or was not) used by the bacterium for energy. a) explain in your own words how to perform specialized media tests to find an unknown bacteria
Is the mannitol salt agar (MSA) a complex or defined medium? Explain based on Composition. What kind of media based on what kind of microorganisms it allows to grow
After inoculating and incubating an agar slant from a pure broth culture of a bacterial species such as E. coli, which of the following would indicate an unsuccessful aseptic transfer? (Choose ALL that apply) a - There is fungal growth in the original broth culture tube. b- There is too much growth on the agar slant. c- There are colonies of similar morphology on the slant. d - There are red, yellow, and white colonies on the slant. e - There is no growth on the slant.
For each of the following situations, describe how bacteria on these growth. media would appear on the plate: A. On MacConkey agar, a bacterium that grows on the medium but is negative for lactose fermentation B. On EMB agar, a bacterium that grows on the medium but is positive for lactose fermentation C. On mannitol salt agar, a bacterium that failed to grow on the medium D. On mannitol salt agar, a bacterium that grew on the medium and fermented mannitol
EMB agar inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria while encouraging the growth of Gram-negative bacteria. It also can determine if some bacteria use lactose. It is particularly effective at determining if E. coli is present in a specimen. Define what type(s) of media EMB agar is, using as many terms in the answer list as are applicable.
