What cell types would be able to grow on the ECM in the following situations?a) Streptomycin was not added to the ECM.b) The ECM contains thiamine.c) The ECM contains all 20 amino acids and all 5 nitrogenous nucleic acid bases.
Reminder: ECM = minimal medium + glucose + has streptomycin antibiotic
If you isolate a bacteria from the digestive system system of mouse, what would you expect the bacterial response to varying pH to be? What would you likely classify this bacteria as?
Bacterial growth depends on many environmental factors, including the temperature of the environment. Since microbes can survive in a certain range of temperatures and will thrive at a temperature, understanding these variables allows for control of their growth. This understanding can be used, for example, to preserve certain foods or to treat infections. This lab simulation will use an instrument called a spectrophotometer. This instrument quantitatively measures the amount of light that is absorbed or transmitted by molecules in solution
a) In your own words give an introduction to the microbial growth and the effect tempature has.
b) In your own words explain the importance of the spectrophotometer in regards to microbial growth.
c) In your own words give a hypothesis on how bacteria will react to different temperatures.

- In cell culture experiments, when you add the purified toxin to host cell monolayers, the host cells die. The toxin-infected host cells do not lyse, but the cells have collapsed and show a significant loss of water and ions. The toxin is translated and produced by the bacterium as a single polypeptide. However, cellular fractionation of the host cells into cytosolic and membrane fractions reveals that a portion of the toxin is present in the membrane fraction and another portion is in the cytosolic fraction. Based on these results, answer the following questions: A. What type of toxin have you identified? 2 B. How does this toxin function to kill host cells?arrow_forwardThe image below presents the results of an experiment comparing the effect of Gentamicin and three concentrations of Acetic acid on Escherichia coli.

- Given this, if you used 6g of vitamin Z powder to make 20 ml of solution, what is the % concentration of this solution? (I gave the image since I don't know if that info is needed to solve this question.)It also gives a follow-up, if you can help here too: You work in a lab as a summer student. One of your tasks is to make sure that there is enough cell culture medium containing antibiotics to grow bacteria. One day you realize that there is only 5 ml of 10% Antibiotic stock solution in the freezer. You decide to use it all to prepare the working culture medium with 0.01% antibiotic. In the lab there is plenty of growth medium without antibiotics. (Note: dilution in medium is like dilution in water). You remember the equation to make dilutions of stock solutions. You usually use this formula to calculate the required volume of a stock solution, but you realize it can apply here as well, even though the unknown is the final volume. So, you make that dilution.
