1. Imagine you are a student in Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase's lab in the late 1940s. You are given five test tubes containing E. coli bacteria infected with T2 bacteriophages that have been labeled with either 32P or 35S. Unfortunately, you forgot to mark the tubes and are uncertain about which were labeled with ³2P and which with 35S. You place the contents of each tube in a blender and turn it on for a few seconds to shear off the phage protein coats. You then centrifuge the contents to separate the protein coats and the cells. You check for the presence of radioactivity and obtain the following results. Which tubes contained E. coli infected with ³2P- labeled phage? Explain your answer. Tube number 1 2 3 4 5 Radioactivity present in Cells Protein coats Protein coats Cells Cells

(c) Public health scientists wanted to investigate the effect of ionising radiation on the growth of Salmonella typhimurium in the presence of antibiotics. They grew bacterial colonies of Salmonella typhimurium in petri dishes labelled A, B and C. The Petri dishes were kept at 36°C for 48 hours, with scientists observing the bacteria every 24 hours. The results for this investigation are below. Petri dish A B с Treatment Was subjected to ionising radiation followed immediately by a dose of antibiotic X An equal amount of antibiotic X was added (as was added to Petri dish A) Was given neither ionising radiation nor antibiotic X After 24 hours Small spots of growth on surface No growth Growth across whole surface After 48 hours (ii) Identify the purpose of petri dish C. Large spots of growth on surface No growth Growth across whole surface (i) Explain the effect of the ionising radiation on the bacteria. (iii) Explain why scientists must continue to develop new antibiotics.
You measure your E. coli and find them to have an OD600 of 1.20. You have 50 ml of culture, and you know that there are 2.5x109 cells per 1.0 OD600. Based on this information, how many E. coli cells are present in the culture you’re about to centrifuge?
The images attached are the photos of bacteria in yoghurt under a misroscope. According to these images and your own knowledge, can you make a biological drawing of bacteria in yoghurt ( in a circle) and identify the types of bacteria accurately?
Hello, I want you pleaseeee to make a dichotomous key based on provided experiments to identify a an unknown bacterium mixture. It can be E. coli, B. Bulgaris, B subtilis, b aerogenes, m leuteus, s. Aureus, and s epidermisis. Make it based on these possible experiments: phenol red broth, mr/vp test, catalase test, oxidase test, nitrate reduction test, citrate utilization test, Malonate utilization test, decarboxylation test, starch hydrolysis test, dna hydrolysis test, lipid hydrolysis test, gelatin hydrolysis test, urea hydrolysis, SIM medium, triple sugar iron agar test, blood agar test. So far we have run a MAC agar and PEAA plate of the bacterium
Ethanol has been carried over into your DNA sample (two answers possible here, select both of them) a) The column tip touched the column flow through b) The cells stayed in the lysis buffer for too long c) You didn't add enough wash buffer d) You did not centrifuge a final time after the final wash
1) Listen In the lab you are testing a bacterium's oxygen requirement for growth. You grow your bacterium in a test tube, without shaking at the appropriate temperature. The next day you find that your bacterial culture is growing only at the top surface (ie at the top of the tube closest to the cap) and not dispersed throughout the test tube. What term would be used to describe the oxygen requirement of this bacterium? O A) Obligate aerobe. O B) Microaerophile. O C) Anaerobe. D) Obligate anaerobe. E) Facultative anaerobe.
A certain medium has the following composition:Glucose 15 gYeast extract 5 gPeptone 5 gKH2PO4 2 gDistilled water 1,000 mla. Tell what chemical category this medium belongs to, and explainwhy this is true.b. How could you convert Staphylococcus medium intoa nonsynthetic medium?
You perform a succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) assay on the fractions the isolated fractions. You read each fraction at 630 nm and find that your FH 1:3 gives you an absorbance reading of 2.4. What should you do?.
Koch's postulates include all of the following EXCEPT O 1) Isolate the organism in pure culture. The symptoms of the test animal may vary from the symptoms seen in the O 2) patient. O 3) Inoculate a test animal with the isolated organism. 4) The organism must be isolated from the test animal in pure culture. 5) The organism isolated from the test animal must match the organism isolated from the patient.
Nitrate reduction test can be used to differentiate between Pseudomonads and Enterobacteriaceae. You inoculated your Nitrate broth with your unknown; after incubation, you added 5 drops of reagent A and 5 drops of reagent B. You observe a red color within 2 minutes. Is this a + or a - reaction? Assuming you did not get a red color, you then added a pinch of Zinc and this time tou obtained a red color. What does this mean?
Given this, if you used 6g of vitamin Z powder to make 20 ml of solution, what is the % concentration of this solution? (I gave the image since I don't know if that info is needed to solve this question.)It also gives a follow-up, if you can help here too: You work in a lab as a summer student. One of your tasks is to make sure that there is enough cell culture medium containing antibiotics to grow bacteria. One day you realize that there is only 5 ml of 10% Antibiotic stock solution in the freezer. You decide to use it all to prepare the working culture medium with 0.01% antibiotic. In the lab there is plenty of growth medium without antibiotics. (Note: dilution in medium is like dilution in water). You remember the equation to make dilutions of stock solutions. You usually use this formula to calculate the required volume of a stock solution, but you realize it can apply here as well, even though the unknown is the final volume. So, you make that dilution. Given that each bacterial…
The world is facing a Corona Virus (COVID-19) Pandemic and as a potential scientist and a microbiology student, you have been required to prepare the easiest and most affordable hand sanitizer that can be utilized by students in various microbiology laboratories. Each student in your class has been given 96% ethanol and you are required to prepare 70% ethanol hand sanitizer in a 2L spray bottle. Describe clearly the method you will use in order to achieve the aim of the practical.
