Write a paragraph for when you once have Neisseria gonorrhoea bacteria in its pure form, what methods can you use to confirm the identity of this bacterium as N. gonorrhoeae? Mention what is the principle of those methods.
You 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]
MacConkey agar is often used to differentiate E. coli from other Gram-negative rods. The recipe for MacConkey agar is given in the table. Suppose you plated a mixed culture of Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Streptococcus pyogenes onto a MacConkey agar plate. Which species would grow, and how would they appear? Why would the others NOT grow?

Assume that after washing your hands, you leave ten bacterial cells on a new bar of soap. You then decide to do a plate count of the soap after it was left in the soap dish for 24 hours. You dilute 1 g of the soap 1:106 and plate it on heterotrophic plate count agar. After 24 hours of incubation, there are 168 colonies. How many bacteria were on the soap? How did they get there?
