- Why is nigrosin-water- bacteria puddle need to be mixed in a Simple/Negative stainingarrow_forwardFor the picture below, answer the following questions: A. What is the shape of the bacteria? B. What is the arrangement of the bacteria? C. If this slide shows a Gram stain, what is the Gram stain reaction? If this slide does not show a Gram stain, please state that as your answer. ASM MicrobeLibrary.org Smitharrow_forwardYou perform several tests on an unidentified bacterial species and get the results below. Based on the test results and the bacterial table, you narrow down the identity to two possible bacteria. Which test should you now do with these bacteria to narrow down the possibilities to just one bacterial species from the bacterial table? (In other words: knowing the results from which test would let you identify these bacteria?) Gram reaction result: Citrate Test (Tube B): O Nitrate reduction test Motility test MSA plate O Glucose fermentation test Earrow_forward
- Which of the following can be used to distinguish one colony from another on an agar plate? Select all that apply. a. Shape b. Color c. Gram stain d. Cell arrangement e. Size f. Elevation g. Margin h. Texturearrow_forwardWhich step of the gram stain procedure is most critical?why?arrow_forwardThis is how a hanging-drop slide is prepared. Figure from Macedo, Wikimedia Commons, 2016. 2 3 4 slide cover slip vaseline concavity drop of microbiological culture CA inoculation loop 11. Which slide gives you more information, the hanging drop or the stained slide? Why do you say so? 12. Why might it be valuable to know whether a bacterium is motile?arrow_forward
- The images attached are the photos of bacteria in yoghurt under a misroscope. According to these images and your own knowledge, can you make a biological drawing of bacteria in yoghurt ( in a circle) and identify the types of bacteria accurately?arrow_forwardExplain the principle of Gram staining. (You do not need to describe the procedure step by step).arrow_forwardYou perform a set of serial dilutions using 99-mL water blanks (successive 1-mL dilutions into blanks A, B, and C, respectively). Following spread plating and incubation of a 0.1 mL subsample from Blank C, you count 66 colonies on the plate. How many colony-forming units are in the original broth culture?arrow_forward
- Why are petri dishes ALWAYS stored and incubated upside down? Question 17 options: a) helps bacteria grow b) the lid is larger and make the dish more stable c) prevents condensation from dripping on to agar surface d) so the label can be seenarrow_forwardAnswer all questions and make it as short as possible.arrow_forwardYou make a smear of E. coli and then simple stain the slide with methylene blue. If you failed to use correct aseptic technique by not sterilizing the loop before picking up the bacterial sample for the smear, what results may be seen under the microscope? A Both blue and purple cells may be seen on the slide. B No cells may be visible on the slide. C There may be cells of different shapes, sizes, and arrangements.arrow_forward
