Growth Characteristics Streak plate: used to isolate pure cultures in the form of single colonies (clones) Colonies of different bacterial species can be differentiated based on color, texture and size Spread plate used to count bacterial colonies to estimate the total number of bacteria per mL in a broth culture.The broth culture may need to be diluted through a process known as serial dilution IV. Equipment Microscope Use of microscopes Parfocal: when one lens is in focus all other lenses will also be in focus Objective lenses: 4X: scanning lens 10X:low power lens; start with this lens 40X:high power lens; ONLY use fine focus knob 100X:oil immersion lens; Use immersion oil and ONLY use fine focus knob Total magnification (TM):ocular lens X objective lens= (10X) What would be the TM at 40X objective? =400X Different forms of media (broth/slant/deep)

Leukocytes: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, monocytes VII. Stains Direct/simple : heat fix basic dye(+) (methylene blue, crystal violet, safranin) Advantage: can use multiple dyes, can view slides multiple times Disadvantage: heat fixing causes some shape and size distortion. Acid---fast wk5 distinguishes bacteria on presence or absence of mycolic acid in cell wall. Positive = looks red/purple has mycolic acid in cell wall/waxy layer Negative = looks blue with no mycolic acid in cell wall Primary stain: carbol fuchsin cover smear w/dye and place on beaker of hot water Mordant: heat - keep slide on beaker for 5 min Decolorizer : acid alcohol 5-10 sec quick rinse, rinse with DI H2O 2nd stain : methylene blue 45 sec, right with DI H2O Negative : NO heat fixing Acidic dye (-) (nigrosin) - reples dye stains backgroung Advantage: view true morphology (shape) & size of bacteria Disadvantage: slide can only be viewed once Capsule combination of direct stain and negative stain Stain slide (nigrosin or india ink) NO heat fix (air dry 5 min.) Stain cell (crystal violet) Rinse (DI H2O) Blot dry (capsule appears with clear halos against dark background & stain cells) Gram distinguishes bacteria on the thickness of peptidoglycan Positive : purple thick peptidoglycan Negative : pink thick peptidoglycan Primary stain: crystal violet Mordant: iodine Decolorizer : ethanol 2nd stain : safranin Endospore Primary stain: malachite green cover smear w/dye and place on beaker of hot water Mordant: heat keep slide on beaker of hot water for 5 min - makes dye penetrate/stick Decolorizer : DI H2O rinse well - challenges the cell to keep/loose dye 2nd stain : safranin 45 sec - rinse with DI H2O
