4. You plate 3 different strains of the bacteria family Aspergillis on a MacConkey Agar plate. You notice that 2 have a yellow shade, 1 has a subtle pink color. Please interpret this information. Such as, the type of fermenters these bacteria are and what this says about their metabolism. What does the color change represent? And how is this color change possible? 5. You observe a blood agar plate and see a clear/transparent area where the bacteria has been inoculated. With this information what are some possible outcomes if someone was infected with this type of bacteria? Please explain.

What does the phrase "pipetting up and down" mean and why is this technique used? The phrase "pipetting up & down" means to triturate. Th technique is used to mix (or homogenize) a solutic 7 On what part of a microcentrifuge tube should you write a label? Describe the order in which you filled the tubes in Step 2 of Procedure 4. Did this order result in maximum efficiency? If not, what order would be most efficient? 9 What does the phrase "spinning down" mean and why is this technique used? The word 'spinning down" means, To diminish in energy i to slow down o out; to be gradually ended or concelled. It is used to reduce its spin speed from that required for reading and writing. 10 Why was the comb placed in the middle rather than at one end of the gel for this electrophoresis experime- The comb is in the center of the gel Since the dyes used have positive or negative charges and can therefore migrate in differen
As you can see on the blood agar plates, some microbes can lyse red blood cells releasing nutrients into the surrounding area. What might the advantage be for a bacteria to be able to do this? Do you think this could have an effect on the bacteria’s virulence? Explain.
