Nutrient Growth Medium

It is a culture medium or nutrient broth for all kinds of microorganisms to grow properly and create their colony. This matrix provides support to increase the population of microbes through the method of cell proliferation. It is regarded as the food material for those organisms. It is a type of in vitro mechanism, in which the development of life is processed outside the host body. It can be solid, semi-solid, or liquid in nature. Different kinds of cells develop in different types of media.

If a single bacteriophage infects one E. coli cell present on a lawn of bacteria and, upon lysis, yields 185 viable viruses, how many phages will exist in a single plaque if 5 more lytic cycles occur? Express your answer using three significant figures (example: 1.11×10^3).
You are a bacteriologist studying a pathogenic protein (the “BAD” protein) that contributes to diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus. BAD functions as an ab heterodimer, and the a subunit (25kD) and b subunit (75kD) are held together by an electrostatic interaction between K in the a subunit and D in the b subunit. You are trying to dissociate the BAD subunits to prevent pathogenesis in the bacteria. Which mutation would you make to prevent the BAD subunits from forming a dimer? Assume neutral pH. (A) introduce AAA to AGA point mutation in the a subunit gene(B) introduce GAC to GAG point mutation in the b subunit gene(C) introduce GAT to CGT point mutation in the b subunit gene(D) introduce two point mutations: AAG to GTG in the a subunit gene & GAC to CTC in the b subunit gene (E) introduce two point mutations: AAA to TGC in the a subunit gene & GAT to TGT in the b subunit gene
