Question
The volume of E. coli added to each warm agar pour/virus mixture was originally100µL. After pre-testing the experiment, the instructions were modified for you to add 300µL of E. coli. Make an educated guess as to why the volume was increased.

- Note that it is not appropriate to self-diagnose outside of a medical context and this is a completely hypothetical scenario. Imagine you have a rash on your foot. You're concerned that it's an infection and inoculate a sample onto an agar plate. You wonder, How can I figure out whether the pathogen is a bacterium vs a eukaryote? You decide to use lab supplies to get a basic understanding of the pathogen. Be specific about what tests you use and what you expect the results to be. Limit yourself to experiments we could do in our lab. What is a procedure you could do, involving making a slide of the organism?arrow_forwardcan you explain why Bacillus anthracis can be pathogenic in a mouse and not be fought off by the immune system? I need help finding the answer in the article and explain in short answer link to article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC106848/arrow_forwardA 10-5 dilution is performed on a culture of bacteria in order to perform viable plate counts. From the dilution, *0.1 mL* of solution is plated on solid media, and 278 colony forming units grow on the plate. How many bacteria are in a single mL of the original culture? Express your answer to two decimal places using scientific notation. In scientific notation 540 would be written as 5.40*10^2. Since only 0.1 mL is put on the plate, this counts as an extra dilution!!! Any time less than 1 mL is transferred, a dilution is being performed. Any time more than 1 mL is transferred, a concentration is being performed. Include the trailing zero so there are two decimal places Canvas expects a single digit before the decimal point. 5.40*10^2 is how Canvas expects 540 to be formatted in scientific notation 54.00*10^1 would be marked wrong. 0.54*10^3 would be marked wrong.

- You perform the Methyl-Red(MR)& Voges-Proskauer(VP) test and gather the following results: (Uploaded picture). VP test result is on the left, MR test result is on the right. Please interpret these results and answer this: Your fellow researcher and yourself are sure your bacterial sample is either E. coli or P. vulargis. Basedupon the work we have done in lab which methods will help you determine which bacteria it is? Please explain why, the results you would want to observe and provide analysis of those results.arrow_forwardYou have several different media onto which you inoculated eight strains of yeast (A-H). The media include a rich medium, an unsupplemented minimal medium, and minimal media each supplemented with one vitamin. Of the yeast strains, one is a prototroph and seven are auxotrophs for a vitamin. After overnight incubation, the following results were observed (tan patches represent growth): D plate 1 (A) B DE F GH plate 5 plate 4 plate 6 Which plate contains an unsupplemented minimal medium? [Select] Which plate contains a rich medium? [Select] plate 2 Which strain is a prototroph? [Select] Strain E is an auxotroph for niacin. Which plate reveals this specific auxotrophy? [ Select] plate 3 plate 7 One strain is an auxotroph for both choline and pantothenic acid. Which one is this most likely to be? [Select]arrow_forwardAssume that you counted 67 plaques on a bacterial plate where 0.1ml of a 10-5 dilution of phage was added to bacterial culture. What is the initial concentration of the undiluted phage? Show your calculations and give your answer in pfu/ml (pfu = plaque-forming units)arrow_forward
- You infect bacteria with two phages during a cis test. This produces a lysate that contains phage particles. Before you can count outcomes, you need to work out the amount of phage to use in subsequent experiments. You start by making two ten- fold serial dilutions of the lysate and then add 1mL of the final diluted lysate to a plate of permissive strain e.coli. You observe 10 plaques. How many phage per mL were present in the original lysate? a. 10 phage/mL o b. 3,300 phage/mL c. 10,000 phage/mL o d. 1,000 phage/mL e. 33 phage/mLarrow_forwardJordan is working with an 60% stock concentration of Windex.
