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

what is the physical characteristics of this streak plate? Look at a single colony on a streak plate and look for special physical characteristics such as: motility, possible presence of endospores and/or capsule, culture color?
There are two cultures of yeast cells in the pictures, one has been incubated for 6 hours and one has been incubated for 24 hours. After a 10x dilution by taking 100µl of each culture and adding it to 900 µl water in a microcentrifuge tube and 100µl sample from the tube was taken to view in the counting chamber. a) Count the total number of yeast cells for each culture respectively b) Calculate the concentration and density of yeast cells for each culture respectively
What is the purpose of the pour plate technique? If a pure culture is used to inoculate the plate, why are some colonies bigger than others?
On agar plate does each discrete colony represent the growth of one cell? Explain your answer. Why can a single colony on a plate be used to start a pure culture?
Take a look at your streak plate from the use of a mix culture. Does your plate show the results that are expected? If yes, what does this result tell you if no, what error do you think could’ve caused this? Explain.
As shown in this diagram, you perform a ten-fold serial dilution of a culture to determine the number of colony forming units (CFU) per mL it contains. You do a plate count with these growth results (no. of colonies for each dilution): 1:10 too many to count; 1:100 too many to count; 1:1,000 174; 1:10,000 23; 1:100,000 no growth. The number of CFU per mL in the original culture was: 1 ml 1 ml Original inoculum Dilutions 9 ml broth in each tube 1:10 1 ml 174,000 1:100 1 ml 1 ml 1 ml 1:1000 1 ml 1:10,000 1 ml None of the other four answers (Correct answer not given) 1,000 230,000 174 1 ml 1:100,000 1 ml
1) based on the difference in appearance between mixed culture streak plates and broth culture plates, what would lead you to believe that you have created a pure culture when you inoculated the broths? 2) when using the loop dilution technique to produce pour plates, did all the plates produce isolated colonies? If your goal was to ultimately create pure cultures of E. coli, M. luteus, and S. morcescens, which plate or which dilution would you use, and why would you use this plate? 3) What are the advantages and disadvantages of streak plating compared with pour plating?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the Wet Mount technique? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the Hanging drop technique? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the Slide Culture technique? pls elaborate each, thank you
A pure culture was inoculated onto a Mueller-Hinton agar plate. The Kirby-Bauer procedure was performed. One of the drugs tested showed a large zone of inhibition but also had small colonies growing within this zone. Further testing showed that these colonies were not the results of contamination. Why would these colonies be present within this zone of inhibition?
A soil sample is placed in liquid and the number of bacteria in the sample determined in two ways: (1) colony count and (2) direct microscopic count. How would the results compare?a) Methods 1 and 2 would give approximately the same results.b) Many more bacteria would be estimated by method 1.c) Many more bacteria would be estimated by method 2.d) Depending on the soil sample, sometimes method 1 would be higher and sometimes method 2 would be higher.

Refer to the provided image drawn by a student trying to plan out their serial dilution protocol. The student diluted the original culture into bottle A and then diluted it further into B as shown. The student then proceeded with plating out 0.1ml of the culture from bottle B onto the plate (Note: plate A shows the 0.1ml that was plated, no further dilutions were done). If 13 colonies grew on plate A, help the student figure out how many CFU (colony forming units) were in the original culture? Select one: a.1,300 b.13,000 c.None of the Above d.130,000 e.1,000,000
