A bacterial culture that has been pretreated with penicillin to inhibit its peptidoglycan synthesis is split and put into solutions of various concentrations. The same is done with a control culture with no prior penicillin exposure. Which condition is likely to demonstrate the biggest difference in outcomes between the control culture and the experimental culture? Placing the cultures into an isotonic solution Placing the cultures into a hypotonic solution Placing the cultures into a hypertonic solution The control and experimental cultures should show you the same results in every condition

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.
