The average D value at 65°C for the mixed popUlation is 7 min. The z value is 7°C.1. Explain the terms "'D value" and "z value".II. Calculate how many organisms will be left after pasteurisation.III. How much time will be needed at 65°C to accomplish the same degree of lethality?IV. How much time will be needed at 72°C to achieve the same degree of lethality?
1. The differential aspect of MacConkey agar allows for the determination of which bacteria are lactose fermenters and which are not. 2. Blood agar is used to determine an organism's ability for hemolysis. Blood agar is differential in this regard. 3. EMB agar uses two dyes, eosin and methylene blue, to restrict the growth of gram-positive organisms, making this agar (EMB) in this regard. 4. Crystal violet dye in MacConkey agar will prevent some organisms from growing, making MacConkey agar in this regard. The crystal violet dye can also be used in the determination of the ability to ferment the carbohydrate in the agar; making MacConkey agar in this regard. 5. Use of an agar which contains an elevated amount of salt would allow some organisms to grow while preventing the growth of other organisms. This media would be considered selective
Suppose you spilled two cultures of Salmonella typhimur-ium (each containing 100,000 cells) on your lab bench. You im-mediately applied the same disinfectant to both cultures at thesame time. One culture had been freshly grown for 36 hours andthe other culture is 2 weeks old. If the kill ing rate of the disin-fectant is 90% per minute, do you think that microbes in bothcultures will be completely killed after 6 minutes? Why or whynot?
