Lab Quiz 2 Flashcards
How do we get a pure culture?
By Isolation
Why do we need a pure culture?
We need a pure culture because it is essential in order to study a single bacterial species.
How many methods of isolation are there? And what are their names?
There are two isolation methods the STREAK PLAYE METHOD AND THR POUR PLAYE METHOD.
What is used in the streak plate method?
In the streak plate method a bacterial logical Loop is used to obtain a sample or culture meeting using a septic technique the loop is then streaked across a nutrient Agard surface in a specific manner as the streaking progress is the bacterial cells are spread out farther and farther apart from each other the separated cells reproduce in for a colony separated from other colonies
What is used in the pour ate method?
In the pool or plate method a loop is used similarity to sample material cereal transfers are made to additional two so that each transfer result in a greater delusion of the bacteria present in the regional meeting or simple if the dilution has been adequate bacteria will be separated sufficiently in the soul defied Agard so individual call knees will form you will use this type of method in the and scoping exercise later
Bacterial Cell Shapes
Spheres = cocci, singular Coccus
Rods = Bacilli, singular Bacillus
Rigid Spirals = Spirilla, singular Spirillum
Curved rods = Vibrios
Short Rods = Coccobacilli
Flexible Spirals = Spirochetes
What does Pleomorphism mean?
A variety of shapes given in a sample
