3b)A plant suspension culture was used to study the effect of three types of media on the growth of the culture using batch culture approach. Figure 3.1 shows the growth of the plant suspension cultures using Murashige and Skoog (MS), Gamborg B5 and Vacin and Went media. Comment and conclude on the results obtained. Suggest which is the most suitable medium to maintain the suspension cultures with justification.

- (c) Public health scientists wanted to investigate the effect of ionising radiation on the growth of Salmonella typhimurium in the presence of antibiotics. They grew bacterial colonies of Salmonella typhimurium in petri dishes labelled A, B and C. The Petri dishes were kept at 36°C for 48 hours, with scientists observing the bacteria every 24 hours. The results for this investigation are below. Petri dish A B с Treatment Was subjected to ionising radiation followed immediately by a dose of antibiotic X An equal amount of antibiotic X was added (as was added to Petri dish A) Was given neither ionising radiation nor antibiotic X After 24 hours Small spots of growth on surface No growth Growth across whole surface After 48 hours (ii) Identify the purpose of petri dish C.
