Anarobes can be inoculated in an agar slant using an inoculating needle. The needle is able to put the anarobes deep inside the agar. The anarobes can then grow in the anarobic environment provided. The agar slant should then be refrigerated after suitable growth is achieved.

∙ 14y agoFor long period culture can be preserved in glycirene solun (20%) in MCTs or you can preserved them by making slant culture in testtubes, in both the above method low temp is used to kept the cultures. You can also use lyophilizer which is an advanced way to preserve culture, in this all the water content of culture is soaked by lyophilizer machine and culture with dry material is preserved in vaccum enviornmetn.

What is associated with methanogens?
Anaerobes is associated with methanogens.
Why will obligate anaerobes grow in thioglycollate?
Obligate anaerobes do not need or use oxygen as a nutrient. In fact it is a toxic substance to them which either kills or inhibits their growth. Thioglycollate allows obligate anaerobes to grow because it consists of sodium thioglycollate, thioglycollic acid and L-crystine which reduce oxygen to water. This creates an anaerobic environment allowing obligate anaerobes to grow.
Why is a gaspak anaerobic jar necessary for the culture of anaerobes on TSA plates but not in tubes of FTM?
TSA plates do not allow for the growth of anaerobes, becasue the entire culture is exposed to oxygen. So the TSA plates require the gaspak to provide an anaerobic condition. FTM does allow for the growth of anaerobes and aerobes. Anaerobes will be found deep in the soln. away from the oxygen, and aerobes will be found at the top, with facultatives inbetween.
Did you get a pure culture in your subculture and how to know?
Ensuring that your culture is pure is very important to getting accurate results of your gram stain. One way to tell if your culture is pure is to test both the control and the experiment cultures. If you get a different result than the one you were expecting, you might have a corrupted culture. Making sure that you have several items of each is helpful, as well.
From what conditions do anaerobes get their energy?
In the absence of oxygen in the absence of oxygen
When did the selective breeding of pure yeast cultures begin?
The selective breeding of pure yeast cultures began in 1883
Is mycoplasma aerobes or anaerobes?
most of them are facultative anaerobes. oxygen is not pioson for them. M. pneumoniae is aerobe. there are also some strict anaerobes in bovine rumen.
Had a vaginal swab taken it says it has grown anaerobes sensitive to metronidazole what does it mean and where is it?
Anaerobic bacterial cultures are performed to identify bacteria that grow only in the absence of oxygen and which may cause human infection. Anaerobes are commonly found on mucous membranes such as the vagina It may be nothing to worry about since they are commonly found in the vagina.
Bacteria that only grows with the absence of oxygen?
Bacteria that can ONLY grow in the absence of oxygen are called obligate anaerobes.
Do all bacterial colonies consist of pure cultures?
YES.!!
Can obligate anaerobes grow on a slant that is incubated anaerobically?
Do obligate anaerobes grow on a slant if they are incubated anaerobically?
What is associated with methanogens?
Anaerobes is associated with methanogens.
Why can media such as brain-heart infusion and thioglycollate be used for the cultivation of anaerobes?
Anaerobes cannot be cultivated in the presence of atmospheric oxygen.
Can streak or spread plates isolate pure cultures from mixed bacteria?
YES

Bacteria that survive with or without oxygen are known as?
There are two groups of organisms that are capable of thriving in an environment without oxygen. Facultative Anaerobes Anaerobes Facultative means with or without.
What organisims do not need oxygen to survive?
anaerobes
