What are the aerobic and anaerobic culture media?
an aerobic culture is the one which requires oxygen for the growth of microbes
What microbes grow on solid media?
coliphages of bacteriophage are seen in solid media
The plant part which provides resistance to microbes to withstand hypotonic external media without bursting?
cell wall.
Which part of the cell provides resistance to microbes to withstand hypotonic external media without bursting?
Cell walls permit the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria to withstand very dilute (hypo tonic) external media without bursting. # . :)
Why use fresh thioglycollate medium?
A fluid thioglycollate is preferably used soon after preparation to minimize the amount of oxygen that is permitted to diffuse towards the bottom of the medium. The longer you wait before using this medium, the more oxygen is allowed to diffuse into it; more oxygen will negatively affect the growth of obligate anaerobes but would positively affect the growth of aerobic organisms.
What are the aerobic and anaerobic culture media?
an aerobic culture is the one which requires oxygen for the growth of microbes
Compare simple media with differential media?
Differential media or selective media is an agar that has certain nutrient to grow certain microbes. Simple media is an agar that has simple sugars that many normal microbes thrive in.
What microbes grow on solid media?
coliphages of bacteriophage are seen in solid media
What is a simple media?
In this media non-complicated ingredients are used to support the growth of microbes
What media used to maintain microbes for long periods?
by subculture into non selective media such as soya broth or brain heart
What is the difference between complex media and simple media?
Complex media contain a mixture of nutrients, while simple media provide specific nutrients in defined amounts. Complex media support the growth of a wider range of microorganisms, while simple media are used when the nutritional requirements of the microorganism are known.
What are the two principal functions of dyes in media?
dyes are used for staining and killing microbes
The plant part which provides resistance to microbes to withstand hypotonic external media without bursting?
cell wall.
Why is sodium thioglycollate used in lab media?
It is used as a reducing media. Thus minimizing the level of oxygen in the media.
Some microbes are not capable of growing on artificial media?
True, I had this question on a microbiology exam and got it correct. The answer of course is true....
What is micromedia?
a company that full fills small media requirements
What are different types of microbiological media?
There are various types of microbiological media used for culturing microorganisms, such as agar plates for solid media, broth for liquid media, selective media to encourage growth of specific organisms, differential media to distinguish different types of organisms based on their growth characteristics, and enrichment media to help grow fastidious microbes.
