- Question: Give the importance of biochemical test for the identification of the members of Enterobacteriaceae.arrow_forwardВackground In order to determine whether a newly synthesized chemical might be a useful food preservative, the chemical was tested for its ability to inhibit bacterial growth. Control. 500 ml of cottage cheese was inoculated with 2 ml of a 24-hr culture of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and incubated at 25°C. Five hours after inoculation, a standard plate count showed there were 200 bacterial cells/ml in the cottage cheese. After 11 hours, 1600 cells/ml. After 21 hours, 50,000 cells/ml. After 27 hours, 400,000 cells/ml. Experiment. 500 ml of cottage cheese containing the preservative was inoculated with 2 ml of a 24-hr culture of P. aeruginosa. After 6 hours of incubation at 25°C, a standard plate count was performed. There were 700 bacterial cells/ml in the cottage cheese. After 14 hours, 11,000 cells/ml. After 20 hours, 90,000 cells/ml. After 28 hours, 1, 400, 000 cells/ml. Use the data and the semi-log graph paper to plot growth curves for the control and the experiment.
