5) you are required to make agar plates for your microbiology lab. You must prepare 100 plates with 20 ml of media per plate. to solidify the media, you will add 1.5% agar. how will you prepare the lab?
we have to prepare 100 plate of media,each plate require 20 ml of media and we use 1.5% agar for solidify media
so that
total media we have to prepare = 100 x 20 = 2000ml
total agar required = 2000 x 1.5 / 100 = 3000/100= 30gram
to prepare lab we have to prepare 2000 ml of media and add 30 gram of agar powder in media, after that autoclave the media and clean plates, pour media in plate aseptically and keep plate to solidify in aseptic condition.

You wish to have sufficient TSA to make 10 pour plates. Each plate holds approximately 20 ml of agar. The instructions on the container are that 40 grams are to be used to make a liter. How much dehydrated medium do you need?
Lab Report-Carbohydrates 1. Purpose 2. Special Media for Isolating Bacteria (Lab #12) a. Why are dyes such as phenol red, eosin or methylene blue added to the media? b. How does the bacterium change the media (i.e color of agar or colonies) after incubation? C. In this experiment, which media are selective, and which are differential? d. How did the results observe on the mannitol salt agar and EMB agar correlate to the Gram reaction of the bacteria? e. What...
Case 1 Patient with suspected UTI infection You are working in microbiology core lab facility and you receive a urine sample from patient X. Your responsibility is to establish whether the patient is suffering from a UTI infection. CFU/ml < 103 / ml urineà no infection CFU/ml >105 / ml urineà Yes for infection You are asked to conduct a 6 serial dilutions of the original urine sample (dilution is based on 1 /10ml ) and plating 1 ml from...
2. A series of 1 ml samples from tube #4 of the dilution s eries below are spread on agar plates, resulting in the growth of an average of 68 colonies per plate. What is the concentration of colony-forming units (cfu/mi) present in the original culture? 0.1 ml 0.1 ml 1 ml 1 ml 100 ml 9.9 ml 9.9 ml 9 ml 9 ml 2 4 3. The culture flask at left contains a total of 3.2 x 10s cfu....
agar a defined or an undefined medinent Provide the reasoning behind your choice and explain wry this formaelation is desinable. 4 In your own words, what are the roles of eosin Y and methylene blue in EMB agar 4 5 Im 6 Think about the results you recorded a. Growth on the EMB agar and NA plates was recorded as "good growth," "poor growth," or "no growth. These are qualitative and, at least for the first two, subjective terms. What...

if a 10-3 virus dilution put on agar using the methods you will read about (and would have used) in the lab manual resulted in > 2000 plaques (which really are not countable as they are too crowded) on the final agar plate; and the 10-4 virus dilution gave you 200 plaques; and the 10-5 virus suspension dilution gave you 20 plaques, you need to then figure out what your final dilution factor was and use that to calculate the...
Post lab questions 1.Why are inoculated plates incubated in the inverted position? 2.What term is used to describe the type of culture on the Petri plate you made? 3. Do you think that the growth on your plate represents all the different microbes that were living in the environment you took them from? .Why did you swab one plate with a sterile swab? Dont just say it acted as a control. What specifically was it supposed to show in this...
To dilute a bacterial culture, 100 mu l of a 16 hour culture is mixed with fresh culture media to a final volume of 5 ml. The 16 hour culture was diluted by a factor of: _____ An antibiotic (ampicillin) used during a Transformation experiment. Ampicillin is stored as a stock solution of 100 mg/ml. You are pouring plates from a 500 ml flask of Lauria Bertini agar (LB Agar) and you need an antibiotic concentration of 100 mu g/ml...
