1_A spectrophotometer is used to determine turbidity by measuring
the amount of light that passes through a suspension of cells.
2_An indirect way of estimating bacterial numbers is measuring the
metabolic activity of the population (for example, acid production
or oxygen consumption).
3_For filamentous organisms such as fungi, measuring dry weight is
a convenient method of growth measurement.

Is carbon dioxide or the growth of microorganism a characteristic of life?
Carbon dioxide is NOT a life characteristic.
How long do petri dishes need to be put in an incubator for to promote microorganism growth?
72 hrs
What is an MIC 90 as a measure of antibiotic activity?
The MIC is the lowest concentration of antimicrobial agent which inhibits the growth of the microorganism
How does soil moisture affect transport of soluble pollutants?
because able to growth microorganism and give it what he wont to live
How is a protist microorganism different from a virus microorganism?
a virus is not a microorganism
Is a culture media used to support growth of microorganism?
Agar
The process of entrance and growth of a microorganism or virus in the host is called?
infection
Why time affect the growth of microorganism?
Because things take time to grow.
What is auxotroph?
An auxotroph is a microorganism which has lost the ability to synthesize an organic compound required for its growth.
Is carbon dioxide or the growth of microorganism a characteristic of life?
Carbon dioxide is NOT a life characteristic.
How long do petri dishes need to be put in an incubator for to promote microorganism growth?
72 hrs
Why their should a need to maitain temperature?
as every microorganism has their temperature optima at which they show profuse growth.
What is cryptic growth?
Death Regeneration, including growth and lysis. Lysis followed by growth on the secondary substrate arising from the decay. Some microorganism (mo) may not able to use lysate for cryptic growth.
To what decimal place value is the yearly growth measured?
The answer depends on growth in WHAT!
What is auxotrophy?
Auxotrophy is the inability of a microorganism to synthesize an organic compound required for its growth, often as the result of a mutation.
What are the disadvantages of the bacteriostatic method?
Bacteriostatic method can only inhibit the growth of microorganism but doesnt completely kill them.
What is Dual Fermentation?
A method of continuous product formation using at least two continuous fermentation units and a microorganism capable of being induced, in response to environmental conditions, to undergo a genetic alteration from a state favoring microorganism growth to a state favoring product production by the microorganism.
