1a)A surface sterilisation protocol was carried out to sterilise leaf and stemexplants for evaluating the efficacy of the protocol. All explants were washedthoroughly with distilled water before treating with 50% Clorox for 20minutes. The explants were then rinsed with distilled water before the explants were cultured on plates containing Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium. A total of five plates were prepared for each type of explant and each plate consisted of 10 explants. The results recorded after a week are shown in Table. Discuss and conclude the results obtained.

An 18-year-old female presented a worm-like object to her primary health care provider, claiming it was found in her stool. She spent two months in Mexico five years prior, and admitted seeing similar objects in her stool over the course of the five years. The specimen was sent to the county public health laboratory for testing. Stool specimens were also collected in 10% formalin for formalin-ethyl acetate concentration. Figure 1 shows the worm-like object after injecting. Figure 2 shows what was observed in low numbers on an unstained wet mount of stool; the objects of interest measured 30-34 μm in diameter on average. What is your diagnosis? Based on what criteria?

A. Antibiotics, such as gentamicin, are used in media to prevent growth of susceptible microbes. Is gentamicin media a selective, differential or enrichment media? B. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that all Escherichia bacteria can normally ferment into an acidic waste compound. This acidic end product is detected by including a pH indicator in the agar and noticing a color change. The strain of Escherichia that is a common food pathogen, E. coli O157:H7, however can not ferment sorbitol. It will grow similar to other E. coli, but not change the agar color. Is sorbitol in nutrient agar a selective, differential or enrichment media?
