Serratia Marcescens-
Serratia marcescens is a species of bacteria with rod-shape. It is a Gram-negative bacteria, that is also a facultative anaerobic organism,
At 37°, the culture broth of Serratia marcescens is white in color.
Serratia marcescens grows at 37°C, but it can grow in temperatures that range from 5–40°C. They grow in pH levels that range from 5 to 9.
Serratia marcescens is well known for the red pigmentation it produces called prodigiosin.
Appearance of nutrient broth- white
Better growth temperature- 37 degree celsius
Oxygen requirement- Facultative anaerobe
Colony appearance on agar-
colonies are 1-2 mm in size and are round, glabrous, convex and slightly umbonate with entire margins, and opaque.
Pigmentation- Yes (red pigmentation)

2. You are given a mixed broth culture of Pseudomonas fluorescence (Gram-negative) and Clostridium sporogenes (Gram-positive). You are instructed to isolate and purify each bacterial species. How are you going to do it? Your goal is to have a plate of pure P. fluorescence with isolated colonies and a plate of pure C. sporogenes with isolated colonies. Explain in detail how you are going to perform the exercise. You can use any media you like such as nutrient agar plate,...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
