How do paranema move?
Paranema are flagellated protists that move by beating their flagella in a coordinated fashion. The flagella allow them to propel themselves through water in a smooth and efficient manner. This type of movement is known as flagellar motility.
Is The type of energy transferred by a wave in a medium is kinetic energy?
No, the type of energy transferred by a wave in a medium is potential energy. Waves transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to oscillate or move. This transfer of energy is due to the potential energy stored in the medium's configuration.
How does the type of medium affect refraction?
The type of medium affects refraction by changing the speed of light as it travels from one medium to another. Light bends when it enters a medium with a different refractive index, causing the change in direction we observe. The extent of this bending is determined by the refractive indices of the two media.
What factors dictate choice of tests included in a combination medium?
The hydrogen sulfide production, motility, and indole production.
The type of wave that must have a medium?
soundbut theres probably others
If sim medium was used for motility determination for Proteus vulgaris what noticeable change to the medium will be observed?
A noticeable change in the medium due to Proteus vulgaris motility would be the presence of diffuse growth radiating from the point of inoculation, resulting in a fuzzy or feathery appearance on the surface of the agar. This motility pattern is characteristic of Proteus species, which exhibit swarming motility on semisolid media like SIM medium.
Why is motility medium inoculated only one half the way down the tube?
Motility medium is inoculated only halfway down the tube to observe the migration of motile bacteria from the point of inoculation. This allows for the determination of the motility of the bacteria based on their ability to move away from the point of inoculation. If the bacteria are motile, they will spread throughout the medium, resulting in turbidity along the line of inoculation.
Why is motility medium semi-solid?
Because it does not inhibit bacteria form "swimming" through the medium.
What are the methods used for identifying motility?
There are two basic method to determine motility in a bacterial sample. These samples have similar biochemical identifiers. The first test is a simple drop test. The second method employs a motility medium
What is a semisolid medium?
A semisolid medium is a type of growth medium used in microbiology that has a consistency between solid and liquid. It contains a lower concentration of agar compared to solid media, allowing for the growth of organisms that require a more viscous environment to spread and move within the medium. Semisolid media are commonly used for motility and diffusion assays.
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 factors dictate the choice of tests included in a combination medium?
The hydrogen sulfide production, motility, and indole production.
What concentration of agar is used in a semisolid medium for motility How does that compare to a typical solid medium?
A concentration of 0.5-0.7% agar is typically used in semisolid medium for motility. This is lower than the typical 1.5-2% agar concentration used in solid medium, allowing motile bacteria to move more easily through the softer semisolid medium.
Microbiology - what is SIM test?
Its a test where a semisolid agar called Sulfide-Indole-Motility medium (or SIM medium) is inoculated with a bacteria to test for hydrogen Sulfide, Indole, and Motility of the organism. The medium is inoculated by a swab and stab type method (rub some bacteria on the surface of the medium and stab a straight hole through the medium using a straight wire with the bacteria on it). Incubate the bacteria for about 24 hours and then begin testing.... If hydrogen sulfide is present, it will react with the sodium thiosulfate in the medium and the indicator, ferric ammonium citrate, to produce ferrous sulfide which falls out of solution as a blackish precipitate. The presence of hydrogen sulfide typically means that the bacteria produces the enzyme cysteine desulfanase which breaks up the cysteine in the medium into, among other components, hydrogen sulfide. The Indole portion of the test is performed by adding Kovac's reagent to the inoculated medium. The Kovac's reagent reacts with the indole(if indole is present) to produce a pinkish-red or redish-purple ring around the top of the test tube. If indole isn't present, there will be no color change. The presence of indole means that the bacteria produces tryptophanase, an enzyme which breaks down tryptophan into smaller components, one of which being indole. The Motility aspect of the test is done by checking the medium for turbidity, or "fuzziness". If the medium has become fairly turbid throughout the medium, then the bacteria is motile. If the medium is clear and the only turbid appearance is in the stab line, then the bacteria is non-motile. Unfortunately, the motility aspect of this test typically gives false negative results. Sometimes the temperature that the bacteria was incubated at wasn't optimum for the species, sometimes the bacteria only have weak motility, sometimes the bacteria's flagella can get damaged which would impair motility, etc... The point is, this test is good if you want to know whether or not the bacteria you're testing produces tryptophanase or cysteine desulfanase. The motility aspect of the test is suspect to question, at least if the test result was negative for motility(a large amount of turbidity in the medium is a definite sign of motility and is hard to refute though).
Your boyfriend was under the blanket and you were on top you are both fully clothed you are on birth control can sperm get to you?
No. Spermatozoons do not have that much motility in a non liquid medium.
Why are semisolid media sometimes preferred over techniques for evaluating bacterial motility?
Because it does not inhibit bacteria form "swimming" through the medium.
Does Ecoli have a true motility?
Motile according to the Motility-Indole-Ornithine Test.
