Determine the population of bacteria based on the bacterial colonies?
Assume each colony started as a single bacteria in the original culture. Count the colonies you have and multiply up according to how diluted you made the culture and how much of the original culture you used.
What are groups of bacteria living together in a close knit group known as?
A close knit group of bacteria is known as a colony. All bacteria cells in a colony are genetically identical because they grew from a the same bacteria cell.
Are the bacteria from one colony geneticaly identical?
Not always. Sometimes, during protein synthesis, the DNA of bacteria makes a mistake and copies the wrong protein causing a defect. This can cause the bacteria in the same colony to be slightly different. Also, bacteria can evolve very quickly, so this can also cause the bacteria in one colony to be slightly different.
What is morphology of Ecoli?
What is the colony morphology of Klebsiella bacteria?
What is the colony morphology for klebsiella pneumonia?
It is an organism with a capsule, which is a special structure morphology.
What is the difference between a tissue and a colony?
A bacterial cell is a unit of bacterial colony. In colony of bacteria there can be thousands to million of cells can be present. The morphology of the colony of bacteria can be seen with naked eyes without the help of any gear. Where as the bacterial cell can only be seen under microscope.
What is a bacteria colony?
a bacteria colony is the same as a colony that is found in bacteria and fungus begins to form once you've seen a colony.
How would you determine whether a colony was a contaminent on a pour plate?
The contaminant colony will vary in shape, so the appearance of colonies can be used to distinguish different bacteria.
What does the wordstaphylo mean?
A 'bunch of grapes,' which refers to Staph's colony morphology.
What is the colony morphology of klebsiella pneumonia on macconkeys and nutrient agar?
cream
What are the six qualities included in a description of colony morphology?
The six qualities included in a description of colony morphology are texture, size, shape, pigment, speed of growth, and patterns of growth in broth and gelatin media.
How do you know if a colony is of bacterial or yeast origin?
Without microscope and only from morphology?
If bacteria in a colony are unable to perform conjugation how would this hurt the colony's chance for survival?
The colony would have less genetic variation. The Bacteria in the colony would be too genetically similar
What is a mass of bacteria that forms?
A mass of bacteria is a colony.
Colony morphology of Bacillus Subtilis?
Cream coloured (on nutrient agar); Flat and circular with undulate margins.
