Concept explainers
To determine:
The chemical produced by the organism in the following illustration.
Concept introduction:
The illustration depicts the growth of bacteria on blood agar medium. Blood agar media is included under complex media as it has soybean meal and casein. This media also exhibits differential growth of microorganisms on a single media and brings major differences in different colonies; hence it is also a type of differential media. Microbes produce different types of toxins which are associated with causing diseases.
To determine:
The process by which this chemical add pathogenicity to an organism.
Concept introduction:
The illustration depicts the growth of bacteria on blood agar medium. Blood agar media is included under complex media as it has soybean meal and casein. This media also exhibits differential growth of microorganisms on a single media. The medium is used to grow a wide spectrum of microbes. The medium includes a mixture of nutrients which supports the growth of microorganisms.
