10^5 to 10^6

21
Q

how many bacteria/mL can you see in soil?

A

10^8

22

10^3 to 10^5 colonies

24
Q

method employed to plate a liquid sample for the purpose of isolating or counting the bacteria present in that sample

A

spread plate technique

25
Q

A perfect spread plate technique will result to visible and isolated colonies of bacteria that are evenly distributed in the plate and are countable. (t or f)

A

True

26
Q

most commonly applied for microbial testing of foods or isolating and identifying microbial flora present in environmental sample

A

spread plating

27
Q

What are the glasswares required in spread plating?

A

screw capped tube
sterile pipettes
glass spreader

28
Q

What is the medium required in spread plating

A

plate count agar
nutrient agar

29
Q

How many test tubes must be prepared in dilution?

A

6 test tubes containing 9 ml of sterile distilled water

30
Q

What is the rotation angle of petri dish in spread plating

A

45 degrees

31
Q

The plate in spread plating must be incubated for:

A

37 degrees; 24 hours

32
Q

method for counting the number of colony-forming bacteria present in a liquid specimen

A

pour plating

33
Q

pour plate is more precise than streak plate (t or f)

A

true

34
Q

pour plate gives a lower count since non-heat resistant microorganisms can die in pouring molten agar. (t or f)

A

true

35

36
Q

The plate in pour plating must be incubated for:

A

37 degrees; 24-48 hours

37
Q

colonies on the surface will be smaller than embedded colonies in pour plating

A

false (embedded colonies will be smaller)
