Students have asked these similar questions
propose a hypothesis regarding the organisms (staphylococcus, escherichia, pseudomonas, and bacillus) that will be resistant to the most disinfectants, and why?
if the hypothesis is supported, what specific experimental results will be observed?
what would be the independent and dependent variable? zone size, disinfectant type, colony count
Joseph, being a know-it-all, told Mary that her method would not include all microbes. To
demonstrate this, he took another 10g sample of Mary's garden and added starch. After the 1-
week incubation time, he performed the same serial dilution scheme as Mary but used pour
plating instead of spread plating. Shown below are the counts that he obtained after the
incubation period. Compute for the CFU/g given the data below. Be sure to show complete
solutions and box your final answer. Final answers should be expressed in 3 significant figures.

- You found a bright blue growth on a tomato you had left on your kitchen counter. You’ve never seen a microorganism that color, and you want to know what it is. You take the tomato into the lab, sterilize an inoculating loop, transfer a sample from the tomato to a Nutrient Agar Petri dish, and incubate it at 37°C. But when you come back two days later, your Petri dish is empty. Why might this be? Be specific about what might have happened. How would you test your hypothesis?arrow_forwardWhy is it Koch's postulates cannot be used for the microbe E. Coli. What limitations does E.coli have?arrow_forwardUsing the clinical question --"Does antibacterial foam decrease bacteria count on hands as much as hand washing with soap and water.” Question 1) Describe your study design and sample. 2) Will your findings be generalizable? Why or why not? 3) How does this exercise inform your interpretation of published research?.arrow_forward
- Your lab coordinator has decided to grow and maintain a sourdough starter. A sourdough starter is a live, on-going culture of yeast that is grown in flour, water, and a bit of sugar. It is used as an ingredient in some types of bread. Initially when the ingredients were mixed together the mixture appeared dead. After a while, it began to bubble and foam and then it tripled in volume. Eventually it stopped bubbling. Every week it is maintained by "feeding” it fresh flour every week. Over time, it will start to develop a 'sour' taste when it is used to make bread. This is the question A sourdough starter is "fed" flour and water every week to keep it alive.Each week, some of the starter can be removed and used for baking bread.It is added to bread dough to add flavour. The older the starter, the stronger the flavour. What causes the 'sour' taste?arrow_forwardYour lab coordinator has decided to grow and maintain a sourdough starter.
