While measuring the turbidity of a bacterial culture in class, Kevin recorded both the absorbance and transmission values of his sample. While working on his lab report, Kevin is unsure of which value to report as the optical density. His lab partner tells him that he should use transmission. Is this correct? True False

Microbial Isolation

Isolation of the microorganisms in microbiology is the process of developing a pure culture by separating one species of microbe from a mixture of many other species. A pure culture is a culture that contains only one species of microbe.

The number of bacterial cells in a culture broth is to be determined by a culture technique. Serial dilutions were performed and a 1 mL aliquot from each dilution was mixed with warm molten agar and poured into a Petri dish.
