What are some antibiotics?
Penicillin is just one, but there are a lot more. Their uses depend on particular bacterial species and antibiotics resistance.
Is the diameter of the zone of inhibition a true measure of effectiveness of antibiotics?
Yes, but only relative to other antibiotics used on the same species. The zone of inhabition will very between different bacterial species.
Does bacteria exhibit genetic diversity within bacterial species?
Yes. This is why bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics.
A red pigment produced by a bacterial species is an example of what?
Phenotype
A bacterial species differs from a species of eukaryotic organisms in that a bacterial species?
Breeds with it's own species.
What is a viral species?
A viral species means that it is caused by a virus, which is non-living and contains genetic material within a protein capsule. Most viruses are not treated because unlike bacterial species, there is no antibiotics even though specific viruses can be treated with certain chemicals.
What are three bacterial species in order of their increasing fastidiousness?
list the three bacterial species in order of their increasing fastidiousness
What is an example of genes becoming more common in a population?
One example of a gene becoming more common in a population is antibiotic resistance in bacteria. When the antibiotics kill the bacteria some have a mutation that makes them resistant. These bacteria then reproduce and over time the species genetic code changes so that they are antibiotic resistant. This is the reason new vaccines are constantly released. The same basic principle works in pesticide resistance of rats.
1 optical density equals how many bacterial cells?
10^6 cell but it varies species to species bacterial cell..
What is resistant species?
Species resistance is a type of resistance that occurs among all members of a species. This is a part of innate immunity.
What is a bacterial culture containing a single species of organisms referred to as?
A bacterial culture containing a single species of organism is referred to as pure or axenic.
Why is it important to know which species of bacteria are susceptible to which antibiotics?
If bacteria are susceptible to antibiotics, exposure to antibiotics will lead to the death or weakening of the bacteria.
