Determine the population of bacteria based on the bacterial colonies?
Assume each colony started as a single bacteria in the original culture. Count the colonies you have and multiply up according to how diluted you made the culture and how much of the original culture you used.
What is a bacterial colony?
Isolated colonies of bacteria are the result of a single bacterium which has replicated many times and eventually formed a visable lump of genetically identical bacteria. The colony's shape, texture and colour can somtimes be helpful in identifying the species of bacteria. For example collonies of Serratia marrceccens are typically pink, moist looking, round and small on nutrient agar. I laymans terms isolated colonies are the single separated spots (normally semi-spherical like zits) on the plate after it has been incubated. If the bacteria are put on the plate too close together they will form a lawn which looks like the whole plate is covered evenly.
Is bacteria single or multicellular?
Usually Bacteria is unicellular, but in some cases multicellular.
Bacteria are single celled organisms?
yes bacteria is a single celled organisms.
Does bacteria have a single membrane covered organelle?
No, bacteria does not have a single membrane covered organelle.
