What else can I help you with?
Why can bacteria be grown in a petri-dish but not possible for viruses?
Viruses need host cells to replicate and this cannot be done by growing them like bacteria cells are grown.
What is a two-piece glass or plastic dish used for growing bacteria or mold?
It is called a petri dish or culture dish, and it is used in microbiology to culture and observe the growth of bacteria, mold, or other microorganisms.
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 the container used for growing mold or bacteria called?
The container used for growing mold or bacteria is called a Petri dish. It is a shallow, flat dish made of clear glass or plastic with a lid to create a controlled environment for the growth of microorganisms.
What is petri dish used for?
It's used for breeding bacteria!!
What scientific instrument can grow bacteria and has a lid?
a petri dish
What is the uses of petri dish in physics?
A Petri dish is a shallow glass or plastic cylindrical dish that biologists use to culture cells, which can be bacteria, animal, plant, or fungus.
A doctor grows some bacteria in a petri dish for several days which is the independent variable in this situation?
number of bacteria in the dish
What uses of petri dish?
A petri dish is a type of glass or plastic shallow round dish with a close fitting lid which is a vital tool in scientific laboratories. The uses for the petri dish are varied, but it is most well known for holding a culture medium upon which cells, bacteria, and viruses can be grown and studied. Most major scientific breakthroughs have been greatly assisted by the use of petri dishes whether they involve the structure of a virus or the ability to clone meat.
Is there an explanation of why bacteria from one different swabbed object will grow more colonies on a petri dish than another?
It could be the medium in the Petri dish in which the different bacteria grow. It could also be the swabbing technique.
How do you measure bacteria in a petri dish?
When bacteria is grown in an Agar plate, one quantitative method to measure growth is using a counting chamber. Another method is using viable plate counts.
What is Julius Richard Petri known for?
Julius Richard Petri is known for being the inventor of the petri dish. In early bacteria studies, cultures were kept in lidless dishes and as a result they often became contaminated. Julius Richard Petri invented a dish with a lid that reduced the risk of contamination and this has become known as the petri dish.
