One colony typically develops from the growth of several parent bacterial cells?
false
Discuss a bacterial growth curve and phases of bacterial growth?
The bacterial growth curve is usually exponential in shape just like most of the living organism.
Does each discrete colony represent the growth of one cell on an agar plate?
This is one part of a two part answer. Q: Does each discrete colony represent the growth of one cell? Explain your answer. Why can a single colony on a plate be used to start a pure culture? A: No because a discrete colony is the growth of the descendants of a single cell. The cell will self replicate it self on the growth medium to produce more copies of it self thus creating a colony. A single colony has many cells in the colony. Cells from the colony can be extracted and then placed in a pure culture for better growth. A.C.
Why streak in an agar slant medium in a straight line?
because the growth of the unknown bacterial colony will create a pattern when it is grown that is characteristic and can help identify the unknown organism
What are the conditions that contribute to bacterial growth?
they need oxygen and heat and moisture to live.

Which statement best explains why no mold is growing in the white area next to the bacterial colony?
2. The bacteria may release a substance that prevents mold growth.

What is the difference between bacterial and anti bacterial hand wash?
Bacterial hand wash favors the growth of bacteria on the surface of the skin ( hands). On the other hand ( no pun intended) ANTI bacterial hand wash does not favor bacterial growth and in fact contains agents to prevent any bacterial growth on the hands.
What is the danger zone for bacterial growth?
The "danger zone" for bacterial growth are temperatures between 5 and 60 degrees
Why streak in an agar slant medium in a straight line?
because the growth of the unknown bacterial colony will create a pattern when it is grown that is characteristic and can help identify the unknown organism
Can bacterial growth in urine result in false positive for methamphetamine?
No, drug tests are designed with things such as bacterial growth in mind.
How do you destroy bacterial growth?
by distorting it
What are the conditions that contribute to bacterial growth?
they need oxygen and heat and moisture to live.
What is the function of pyrogens?
inhibit bacterial growth
How the sound affect the bacterial growth?
pooop
