The student advises using the same selection procedures and inoculating a 5 mL overnight culture with the transformed cells instead of searching for transformed coli on LB agar plates in order to save time. Why isn't this a wise decision?
Suppose your Professor handed you a test tube with 2.0mL of E.coli broth culture and told you to make a 10-1 dilution of the ENTIRE culture. Explain how you would do this.
When bacteria from a throat swab are streaked on blood agar, why is the agar stabbed several times with the loop?

- You have several different media onto which you inoculated eight strains of yeast (A-H). The media include a rich medium, an unsupplemented minimal medium, and minimal media each supplemented with one vitamin. Of the yeast strains, one is a prototroph and seven are auxotrophs for a vitamin. After overnight incubation, the following results were observed (tan patches represent growth): D plate 1 (A) B DE F GH plate 5 plate 4 plate 6 Which plate contains an unsupplemented minimal medium? [Select] Which plate contains a rich medium? [Select] plate 2 Which strain is a prototroph? [Select] Strain E is an auxotroph for niacin. Which plate reveals this specific auxotrophy? [ Select] plate 3 plate 7 One strain is an auxotroph for both choline and pantothenic acid. Which one is this most likely to be?

Then carried out a trypan blue assay and counted your cells with a hematocytometer as shown in Figure below. Answer the questions according to the results: a. Calculate the concentration of the stock including the dead and living cells. Dont forget to show the units! b. Calculate the percentage (%) of the living cells in the stock. c. You want to seed 6000 living cells into each well of 96 well plates, then calculate the volume you should take from the stock for each well. 輯 1 mm I IREarrow_forwardThe images attached are the photos of bacteria in yoghurt under a misroscope.

- Why is aseptic urine collection important when cultures are ordered? If you counted 20 colonies from a 0.01-ml inoculum of a 1:10 dilution of urine, how many organisms per milliliter of specimen would you report? Is this number significant? What can you learn from visual inspection of a urine specimen? How would you relate these to the microorganisms present in the sample? How are UTIs acquired/transmitted?

- Which of the following best explains why there is no growth on plate II? (a) The initial bacterial culture was not ampicillin-resistant. (b) The transformation procedure killed the bacteria. (c) Nutrient agar inhibits bacterial growth. (d) The bacteria on the plate were transformed. (e) The initial bacterial culture is ampicillin-resistant.arrow_forwardHow will you prevent the occurrence of the bacteria present in the Rapid Strep A Test?arrow_forwardShown below is a set of cell culture plates for a plaque assay. The assay was performed by preparing dilutions of a virus stock with the dilution factor for each prepared dilution listed below the sample. 0.5 mls of each dilution was added to confluent (fully covered) monolayers of cells on each plate. The virus used for the assay had a titer of 2 x 1010 Plaque forming units (PFU) per ml. Only 1 set of the above plates would have a number of plaques on it that would be both easy to count and high enough to be statistically relevant. Which dilution set would it be and about how many plaques would there be on the plates of that dilution set.arrow_forward
