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.

What is a colony in microbiology?
A colony is a group of identical bacteria (clones) which grow together into a visible cluster. Generally, a colony is grown on an nutrient agar plate (on a petri dish with bacteria food in it) such that it is large enough to see the bacteria. An additional type of colony is a "microcolony" which is a term used for a group of the same bacteria which grown in the dirt.
What is bacterial colony?
A group or cluster of bacteria derived from one common bacteria.
Bacteria lives in colonies so what is the circumference of the colony?
for 3.14 time it would be 20mm
Who first developed the process of colony purification on solid media?
Robert Koch, he used potato slices to grow individual bacteria colonies.
What are colonies of bacteria?
Bacterial colonies are defined as the assamblage of bacteria growing on a solid surface such as the surface of an agar culture medium, the assemblage often is directly visible, but also may be seen only microscopically.
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.
The bacteria in colony are unable to perform transduction. how would this hurt the bacterial colony's chance for survival?
The bacteria would generally be more similar

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.
He bacteria in a colony are unable to perform transduction. How would this hurt the bacterial colony's chance for survival?
the bacteria would be more genetically similar.
Can colony morphology help to determine the identity of bacteria?
to know the amount of bacteria present
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 does a 'colony' mean in science terms?
colony term is mainly used in biology... fungal colony, colony of bacteria etc.. basically a group name.
What is a group of bacteria cells called?
I think it is a colony.
What is mean by cfu?
It is the concentration of bacteria in any solution.CFU stands for Colony Forming Units. Colony forming unit is a form of measuring bacteria grown on a streak plate.
