Question 6 1.5 points Save Answer Bacterial ID Flow Chart.docx A student in a microbiology lab was assigned the task of determining the identity of a bacterial species. First she performed a quadrant streak on a TSA plate. After 24 hrs. incubation, she aseptically picked up a portion of a single isolated colony for a gram stain. Her results indicated purple spherical-shaped bacteria that grew in grapelike clusters with no apparent endospores. She then performed a series of biochemical tests...

QUESTIONS
This week in lab you will learn an important technique that microbiologists use to isolate one bacterial species from the population of other microbes it was living with in the natural environment. In most environments there are mixed populations of bacteria. For instance, 600 different types of bacteria have been isolated and identified in the mouths of humans. In soil or water there are also many types of bacteria present. In order to...

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,...

Why do you use a bacterial culture plate when working with viruses? How do you count phages? Describe the general process and the end result. If there were no plaques on your plate, offer an explanation. In this procedure, why is it important to use a hard agar with a soft agar overlay to demonstrate plaque formation?

To identify the colonies, use red for Serratia marcescens and yellow for Micrococcus luteus. (Use purple for Chromebacterium violaceumi and yellow for E. coli if these species were included in your mixed culture.) If time permits, your instructor may inspect your plate and enter a grade where indicated. Grade 2 Evaluation of Pour Plates...

How might the ability to perform hemolysis benefit a hemolytic organism in its' natural environment? Imagine that you have a culture containing a single bacterial species. This culture may be one of several possible species. Describe a scenario where you use Mannitol Salt agar, Blood Agar, and EMB plates to identify the unknown bacterial species. That is, how would you use these plates to help you identify it?

What are the steps of bacterial reproduction/binary fission? What are bacterial endospores? How do they form? How is an endospore different from a vegetative bacterium? From a fungal spore? Compare pure and mixed culture. Why is a pure culture needed to identify a pathogen? What is biofilm growth? What are the steps of biofilm formation? What is the architecture of a biofilm? Why are biofilms resistant to antibiotic treatment? Or to human immune response? What is metabolism? Catabolism? Anabolism? How...
