This test determines the ability of bacteria to use citrate as source of carbon andinorganic ammonium salt as a source of nitrogen. The following are the stepwise procedurein conducting citrate test:1. Infuse the Simmons citrate agar on the slant by touching the tip of sterilized needleto a colony.2. Incubate at 37 degree Celsius for 24 to 48 hours. Task: In a tabulated form, determine if the Escherichia coli are positive or negative withcitrate test. Interpret your answer and include the reaction of organism on this test.
A pure bacterial culture of unknown concentration was diluted to determine the concentration of viable bacteria in the original culture. Serial dilutions were performed as 2. diagrammed below. A volume of 500 µl was transferred into each tube. TSA plates were inoculated with 100 µl from the last three dilution tubes. a. If the dilution between each tube is 102, what is the volume of diluent in each of the 5 dilution tubes? Provide the volume using ml as the units. b. What is the total dilution of tube number 4? Express the total dilution using scientific notation. c. What is the concentration of viable bacteria in the original culture? Express the concentration using scientific notation and CFU/ml as the units. d. If you inoculated a TSA plate with 1.0 ml from dilution tube 4, how many colonies would you expect to form on the plate after incubation? e. If the original culture had a volume of 50ml, what was the total number of viable bacteria in the 50 ml of the original culture? 1 2 3…
My question is: Could you explain steps? (etc. why do we heat or add chemicals like nacl or ammonium sulphate?) 1)Casein Isolation from MilkExperimental Procedure* Put 100 ml of milk in a 500 ml beaker and heat it to 40 0C. * Also heat 100 ml acetate buffer and slowly add it to the beaker with milk while stirring. * The final pH of the mixture should be 4.8. * Cool the suspension to room temperature and wait 5 more minutes before filtering. * Wash the precipitate several times with small volumes of water and then suspend it in approximately 30 ml of ethanol.Filter the suspension in the buchner funnel and wash the precipitate a second time with a mixture of equal proportions of ethanol and ether. * Finally, wash the precipitate on filter paper with 50 ml of ether and soak and dry. * Make the ether evaporate by spreading the powder. * Weigh the casein and calculate the percentage yield of the protein. * Compare with theoretical yield of 3.5 g per 100 ml milk. 2)Purification of Egg…
a pure bacterial culture was diluted by adding a 0.2 mL aliquot to 0.9mL water. Then 0.1 mL of this dilution was plated out, yielding 82 colonies. Calculate the CFU/mL in the original culture.
The number of bacterial cells in a culture broth is to be determined by a culture technique. Serial dilutions were performed and a 1 mL aliquot from each dilution was mixed with warm molten agar and poured into a Petri dish. The numbers of bacterial colony forming units (CFU) after overnight incubation are shown in the table below. What is the number of colony forming units per mL of the culture broth? Choose only the most appropriate plate for your calculation. Give your answer as the number only (do not add text for the units). You may use scientific notation with the format 1.12e+6 (that is, 1.12 x 106 cfu/mL). (Note: Canvas will then display your answer a whole number.)

Using your fingers, you are asked to aseptically touch the surface of a sterile agar plate. Illustrate the possible result from this step if your fingers are (a) unwashed – touched various things prior to placing on agar surface, and (b) washed with soap or disinfected with 70% alcohol. Describe the relative abundance of microbial growth observed on the plates. List and draw the possible characteristics of an isolated bacterial colony that can be observed based on type of (a) margin, (b) elevation, (c) texture, and (d) optical property.
