Is a non motile organism over inoculation of the slide with organisms a false negative?

If a slide is over-inoculated, it means that there are too many samples on one slide. This means that it can give a false negative regarding the motility of the organism in question.

Is Rhizobium motile?
yes it is a motile organism
Are viruses free-living organisms?
viruses are not technically alive because they cant reproduce by themselves, eat, break down food, or grow
Are protozoa motile?
air, water, and other organisms
What are motile bacteria?
Motile bacteria are bacteria which can move. Examples; Spirochetes move using a corkscrew motion powered by an axial filament. Campylobacter jejuni has two flagella. Pseudomonas secreat slime and can glide over surfaces.
What are examples of motile?
staphylococcus,shigella
How is SIM medium used to detect motility?
SIM agar may be used to detect motile organisms. Motility is recognized when culture growth (turbidity) of flagellated organisms is not restricted to the line of inoculation. Growth of non-motile organisms is confined to the line of inoculation.
What makes organisms motile?
An organism is motile if it has the power to move.
What aspect of microbial properties can be observed via stab inoculation technique?
The motility of a microorganism can be observed. Motile organisms, using the flagellum, will move away from the stab line, hence will appear to have "diffused" into the medium. Non-motile organisms will remain in the stab line.
Are plants motile or non-motile?
If an organism is motile then it can move. Plants are not motile.
Is Rhizobium motile?
yes it is a motile organism
If sim medium was used for motility determination for Proteus vulgaris what noticeable change to the medium will be observed?
It will turn black in the inoculation stab as well as throughout the medium because P. vulgaris is a flagellated and motile organism.
Are bacteria growing in the semi solid agar deep motile?
Yes. If the bacteria has spread from the inoculation point, the bacteria is motile. It will look like a upside down Christmas tree.
Is E. coli Motile?
E.coli is usually a motile organism, possessing peritrichous flagellae.
Organism which is indole negative mr positive vp negative citrate positive?
Sounds like Citrobacter freundii. Double check that you do have a gram negative rod that is motile, H2S negative and oxidative negative (most gram neg rods are).
Are viruses free-living organisms?
viruses are not technically alive because they cant reproduce by themselves, eat, break down food, or grow
What is the Morphology of Campylobacter?
Gram-negative, spiral, and microaerophilic. Motile, with either unipolar or bipolar flagella, the organisms have a characteristic spiral/corkscrew appearance and are oxidase-positive
Gametes that are motile are often called?
A motile gamete is a sperm cell; it is motile because it has a flagellum and it swims around, and it is a gamete because, combined with the non-motile ovum, it can form a zygote and hence a new organism.
