Microbial culturing is a method of multiplying microbial organisms such as bacteria,
Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
A mixed culture is the one that contains two or more known species. This information is reflected in option “c”. Therefore, option c. is correct.
Option c. is given as “one that contains two or more known species”
Explanation of Solution
Reasons for the correct statement:
A mixed culture contains more than one type of organism that can grow in sterile medium, such as agar. A mixed culture contains multiple species of bacteria or other microbes. These microbes can live in peace with each other or can inhibit the growth of the other species or strain.
Hence, option c. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as “the same as a contaminated culture.”
Contaminated culture is the one in which an unwanted foreign microbe grows from an outside source and infects the culture. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option b. is given as “The one that has been adequately stirred.”
Stirring is important for homogenous mixing of the media, but it never decides whether the culture grown is mixed or single. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option d. is given as “A pond sample containing algae and protozoa.”
A pond sample containing algae and protozoa is not an example of mixed culture because these species are not grown desirably on a media instead they will be called as contaminants. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.
A mixed culture is the one that contains two or more known species of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. These microbes can live in peace with each other or can inhibit the growth of the other species or strain
