Concept explainers

Nutrient Growth Medium

It is a culture medium or nutrient broth for all kinds of microorganisms to grow properly and create their colony. This matrix provides support to increase the population of microbes through the method of cell proliferation. It is regarded as the food material for those organisms. It is a type of in vitro mechanism, in which the development of life is processed outside the host body. It can be solid, semi-solid, or liquid in nature. Different kinds of cells develop in different types of media.

Question

Chemical pathways by which living things function, especially those that provide cellular energy, such as the transformation of energy from food into the energy of ATP. Metabolism also focuses on chemical pathways involving the synthesis of new biomolecules and the elimination of waste.

A microbiologist has isolated a new strain of bacteria, and is trying to characterize aspects of its growth. Three flasks of the same media have different amounts of NaCl added. Other growth conditions are identical, and the flasks inoculated at the same time. At regular intervals over a 3 hour period, culture samples are taken and turbidity is measured. Here are the absorbance values over time in a table and graphed. Absorbance (OD600) Time (min) 20% NaCl 3% NaCl 0% NaCl 0 0.05 0.05 0.05 30 0.06 0.05 0.05 60 0.075 0.06 0.05 90 0.11 0.07 0.049 120 0.25 0.1 0.048 150 0.5 0.105 0.055 180 0.7 0.11 0.055 210 0.99 0.15 0.06 240 1.22 0.18 0.055 270 1.35 0.19 0.06 300 1.5 0.2 0.06 330 1.6 0.25 0.062 360 1.7 0.3 0.06 Based on these data, which of the following can be determined about this bacterium?

You inoculate two test tubes with the same amount of identical growth medium and with the same number of identical yeast cells and grow these cells under identical conditions except for the presence or absence of oxygen. a) After 12 hours, all of the glucose in each culture has been consumed. You determine the number of total cells found in each culture and find that one culture has more cells than the other. Which culture would have the greater cell density, the one grown aerobically or the one grown anaerobically? Explain why the culture you chose above can make more cells with the same amount of glucose than the other culture.
Two flasks of E. coli are grown in batch culture in the same medium (2% glucose and amino acids; no nitrate) and at the same temperature (378C). Culture #1 is well aerated. Culture #2 is anoxic. After 16 hours the following observations are made: ■ Culture #1 has a high cell density; the cells appear to be in stationary phase, and the glucose level in the medium is reduced to 1.2%. ■ Culture #2 has a low cell density; the cells appear to be in logarithmic phase, although their doubling time is prolonged (over 1 hour). The glucose level is reduced to 0.2%. Why does culture #2 have so little glucose remaining relative to culture #1, even though culture #2 displayed slower growth and has less biomass?
As part of an experiment where absorbance values are measured using a spectrophotometer, you are taking readings of your sample every 20 minutes. The non-motile microbe you're testing has a generation time of roughly 20 minutes at an incubation temperature right around room temperature. Things start out fine, with the expected results — as time goes by at the correct incubation temperature, absorbance starts to rise as the medium starts to become more cloudy with growing microorganisms. But roughly 2 hours into the process, you notice that the absorbance levels flatten out, and then start to decrease unexpectedly. What is most likely taking place in your experiment?
Why might clinical medicine have an interest in understanding bacterial cell division at the molecular level? Explain why a hyperthermophile would probably not be a human pathogen. Describe four factors that may have an influence on the effectiveness of an antimicrobial treatment. Explain why 70% or 80% alcohol is more effective than 100% alcohol in controlling microorganisms.
You have are diluting down a concentrated stock of bacteria in order to grow them. Starting with 2.1 x 105 cells/mL, you will dilute down to 1 x 103 cells/mL. How much of the bacteria will you use to make 100mL of diluted bacteria. We dilute these bacteria with a growth medium called ‘broth’ (its like Gatorade for the cells). How much broth?
You want to determine the amount of cells in a culture. You dilute the suspension to 10^-4 and plate 100ul onto an agar plate. After overnight incubation there are 30 colonies on your plate. How many cells are in your original suspension (assume your culture is 1 Liter)?
A lab technician is working with a bacterium in pure culture (in 5 ml of liquid media in a test tube). The bacterium is a mesophile that can infect humans. Which of the following is NOT true (with regards to temperature conditions for this bacterial culture)? Lowering the temperature to -10 deg C for at least an hour will likely kill all the bacteria. Placing the tube at 37 deg C will likely facilitate rapid growth of the bacteria. Raising the temperature to 90 deg C for at least an hour will likely kill all the bacteria. Placing the tube at 4 deg C will likely slow or halt growth of the bacteria.
Which of the following is true regarding microbial tests that lead to color change in tubes used to characterize bacteria? (more than one answer may be correct) OUrea is degraded by urease, causing a rise in pH Urea is degraded by urease, causing a rise in acid level Production of carboxylic acids causes a rise in pH Production of carboxylic acids causes a drop in pH
A bacterium has a generation time of 30 minutes. You transfer cells from an exponentially growing culture to a fresh source of the same medium so that the freshly inoculated medium contains 3.2 x 106 cells per milliliter. This new culture does not exhibit a lag phase. About how many cells (per milliliter) should you have after 1.5 hours incubation?? Solve this step by step and by using formula
A cell line always requires enzymatic dissociation before it can be distributed between new culture vessels. Is this true or false?

Which of the following is NOT a reason to stain a bacterial preparation. Determine metabolic properties of a cell. To determine the shape of the bacteria in the culture.
