You received three swabs from a wound discharge, and you placed them on enrichment media. You noticed growth was distributed throughout all the media; there was abundant growth toward the surface of the medium in one tube, whereas other tubes showed an equal distribution of growth throughout the tubes. Explain why this happened.

Case Study: You are asked to inoculate lactose media (broth) with E. coli that was growing exponentially in glucose media (broth). You monitor the growth of these cells in the lactose broth using a viable plate count technique and plot the Growth Curve for E. coli growing c lactose. After a day of monitoring the cells, you note that the culture entered into lag phase growth initially and is now currently growing exponentially. In addition, you find that the cultures doubling time is 30 minutes. You know that the doubling time of E. coli in glucose media is 20 minutes. You did not change the oxygen content or temperature at Which you were growing the cells, E. coli is still aerobically respiring at 37°C. Question: If the lac operon is 'on' what does this imply about the cell? O The cell is dying and the lac operon is going to induce apoptosis. Apoptosis is truly cell death and the cells will enter into the death phase of the Growth Curve. O Lactose is being catabolized and glucose is no…

Case Study: You are asked to inoculate lactose media (broth) with E. coli that was growing exponentially in glucose media (broth). You monitor the growth of these cells in the lactose broth using a viable plate count technique and plot the Growth Curve for E. coli growing on lactose. After a day of monitoring the cells, you note that the culture entered into lag phase growth initially and is now currently growing exponentially. In addition, you find that the cultures doubling time is 30 minutes. You know that the doubling time of E. coli in glucose media is 20 minutes. You did not change the oxygen content or temperature at which you were growing the cells, E. coli is still aerobically respiring at 37°C. Question: If you want to grow E. coli as quick as possible would you grow it on lactose or glucose? O Mixing the two carbon sources would provide the most optimal growth conditions. O Lactose because of the generation time being faster. O Lactose and an anaerobic environment. O Glucose…
