Why are bacterial cultures shaken during incubation?

For obligate aerobes, which are bacteria that require oxygen to grow, the shaking of the culture aerates the bacteria sufficiently to allow for growth. Facultative anaerobes also grow well under such conditions since they are bacteria that do not require oxygen, but do grow better under such conditions. Older answer: The culture plated should be inverted (not necessarily shaken) during incubation so that moisture does not collect on the surface of the agar, which could cause clumping of the colonies.


What modifications of cellular respiration might you expect to find in dormant seeds?

During dormancy, seeds wait until the conditions are optimal for cellular respiration. Modifications would include things such as seeding elongation, germination and hormone regulation.


What is reactivation tuberculosis?

One type of infection is called reactivation tuberculosis. Here, the primary infection has resolved, but the bacteria are dormant, or hibernating. When conditions become favorable (for instance, a lowered immunity), the bacteria become active. Tuberculosis in older children and adults may be of this type. The most prominent symptom is a persistent fever, with sweating during the night. Fatigue and weight loss may follow. If the disease progresses and cavities form in the lungs, the person may experience coughing and the production of saliva, mucus, or phlegm that may contain blood.
