Describe how you would execute this first stage from the point you are handed the nutrient broth tube containing the mixed culture, through to the appearance of two colony types on a nutrient agar plate. Assume you have all the necessary equipment and materials at your disposal. Be concise, but thorough; limit yourself to a short paragraph (1/4-1/2 page at most) – include the method and techniques; what you expect to see, and how you would avoid contamination during the process.

Given the scenario, compute for the total volume of the culture media solution (milliliter or liter) and dehydrated media (grams). Scenario: The students of a Microbiology class were tasked to transfer or subculture a pure culture of Escherichia coli bacterium in five 7 mL nutrient broth and five petri dishes of nutrient agar with 20 mL capacity each. Based on the instruction bottles for nutrient broth and nutrient agar, preparation of the culture media is as follows. Nutrient broth: 8 g/liter Nutrient agar: 28 g/liter Formula: C1V1 = C2V2 *Concentration *Volume Computation: What are the answers to the following. Weight in grams of nutrient broth: _________ Distilled water in mL for nutrient broth: __________ Weight in grams of nutrient agar __________ Distilled water in mL for nutrient agar: ____________

Subculture and Colony Morphology Descriptions Following identification of the Gram-negative isolate and Gram-positive isolate, you next subculture each onto fresh nutrient agar plates. Briefly describe the subculture process in three or so sentences and what this allowed you to achieve; follow this with colony morphology descriptions of each. Description: Isolate A – Describe: Colony morphology: Medium & incubation temperature: Isolate B – Describe: Colony morphology: Medium & incubation temperature:
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

A student needed to transfer bacteria from a broth culture to an agar plate. Below is the step-by-step what was done to accomplish this. The transfer of bacteria was not successful because of which step? 1. Cap of the broth culture is removed 2. The mouth of the bottle is flamed 3. The loop was flamed 4. The loop was inserted into the culture to pick up the bacteria 5. The loop was flamed 6. The loop containing the bacteria was used to introduced to spread the agar plate 7. The plate was placed in an incubator at 30 Celcius
Why is it important to use a sterilized loop between streaks when preparing a streakplate? Observation of a streakplate culture shows more growth in Quadrant 4 than in Quadrant 3. Account for this observation. Describe the way in which you can isolate an individual colony from a spreadplate or a streakplate that holds multiple colonies. Outline the differences between a streak plate and a spread plate.
