-
Configuration, elevation, and margins. example
round, raised, wavy. - A nutrient broth culture determins what?
-
1. where the growth is surface, subsurface, or sediment
2. If the material is Turbid(clowdy) granular (small particles shown) or flocculent(masses are floating around) - A gelatin stab culture determins what?
-
#1 liquefication: If the organism produces gelatinase(gelatin digestive enzyme)
#2 if no liquefacation occure a growth partern is given. Filiform, beaded, arboresent - A nutrient Agar Slant determins what charactoristics
-
#1 color in reference to pigments
#2 form of how organisim will grow. example Filiform, Echinulate, Effuse, arborescent. - What does the media blood Agar determin?
- If the bacteria is hemolytic or non-hemolytic. hemolytic bacteria distroys red blood cells in media making either clear zones(beta) or Green zones (alpha)
- What special genera are associated with Blood Agar
- Streptococcus and staphylococcus
- To determin Oxygen requirments what medium is used?
- Thioglycollate
- What results are determined by an oxgen requirement test?
- Aerobic(growth on surface) Microaerophilic (surface and subsurface) facultavie spotty growth all over medium, Anaerboic (groth at bottom only)
- What charactoristics are determined by starch hydrolysis and what will the results show
- If the bacteria is capable of hyrolyzing starch, Iodine will turn agar purple. clear zones indicate + starch hydrolysis
- What special genera is used for starch hydrolysis
- Baciullus subtilis a positive control for the test should show clear zones.
