What is mutant isolation?
Mutant isolation refers to the process of selecting out individual organisms (plant, animal, or microbial) depending upon genetic mutations. For example, staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium, is normally susceptible to a penicillin-derivative called methicillin. If you take a culture of s. aureus growing in a liquid medium, and slowly started adding increasing doses of methicillin, you will gradually kill off the normal s. aureus and leave behind those which have mutated in such a way as to be resistant to the antibiotic.
A microbiologist decides to use a nutrient medium that contains thioglycollic acid What type of microbe is she attempting to culture?
staphylococcus
Is micrococcus luteus a facultative anaerobe?
No Micrococcus luteus is aerobic organism, Staphylococcus aureus is often mistaken for Micrococcus luteus but its main difference is that it is a Facultative anaerobe
What is broth medium?
Broth medium is a liquid nutrient-rich solution used in microbiology laboratories to grow and culture microorganisms. It typically contains ingredients like peptones, meat extracts, and other nutrients that support the growth and proliferation of bacteria, fungi, or other types of microorganisms. Broth medium can be used for various purposes, including isolation, identification, and maintenance of different microbial species.
What will grow on mannitol salt agar besides staph?
Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) is a selective/differential media that inhibits the growth of gram negative bacteria. Only a few bacteria can tolerate the 7.5% NaCl found within this media. The high salt content selects for Staphylococcus and a few salt tolerant enterococci. The presence of the sugar mannitol gives this media its differential properties. When mannitol is fermented (utilized by the bacteria) microorganisms release acidic byproducts that change the pH of the surrounding media. The pH change is indicated by a change in the pH indicator (phenol red) from pink to yellow.
What culture media is specific for Staphylococcus aureus?

What is Staphylococcus aureus sim test results?
Staphylococcus aureus is negative for motility, and positive for the indole production. The SIM test tests for sulfur reduction, indole production and motility. Positive for indole production means tryptophan is broken down into indole and pyruvate and will give a red color. Motility, you will see the bacteria move outside of the stab. Positive for sulfur reduction will give a black color in the medium.
Is S saprophyticus mannitol fermenter?
Yes, it is slightly manitol-positive, though. It will appear a medium yellow tint and Staphylococcus aureus will contrast it by turning bright yellow. S. aureus is a better example for mannitol-positive.See Figure 5:http://www.microbelibrary.org/Culture%20Media/details.asp?id=2315&Lang=
Is staphylococcus aureus positive for gelatin hydrolysis?
Bacillus cereus is positive for gelatin hydrolysis. This bacteria is capable of hydrolyzing gelatin(a protein), thus, a nutrient gelatin medium inoculated with this bacteria will remain liquid when placed in an ice bath (don't agitate).the bacteria had proteases that is responsible for the hydrolysis of the gelatin..
What was the Romans' medium of exchange?
aureus (gold), the denarius (silver), the sestertius (bronze), the dupondius (bronze), and the as (copper
Will s aureus grow on a crystal violet agar plate?
Yes. S. aureus can grow on TSA plate because this plate is general purpose medium and has most nutrient for bacteria growth.

Why is the production of an isolation streak key to the identifcation of a bacterium grown in culture?
Isolation streaking was first introduced by Robert Koch as an improvement on the dilution method of isolation of bacterial cultures. Isolation is achieved by taking a minute sample from within one bacterial colony and putting it in a sterile medium so that only that organism will grow. The assumption here is that a bacterial colony has ways of ensuring that no other bacteria will grow within its colonies, primarily by the use of antibiotic compounds that it produces and secondarily by the fact that it will consume available medium before any other organisms can establish themselves. Contamination of a sample by bacteria other than the one desired can lead to improper identification and poor test results. Good isolation such as that provided by the isolation streak method addresses this concern, is cost-effective, and produces acceptable results.
