What final step should be taken to prove that these specific microbes cause the given disease?
Compare the original microbes with the microbes in the new culture.
What are the aerobic and anaerobic culture media?
an aerobic culture is the one which requires oxygen for the growth of microbes
Why is cotton used as plugs for glass wares containing culture medium?
because cotton plugs permits the air to enter the culture medium but it traps the dust & other micro orgs from entering
What is the principle behind microbial calorimetry?
Basically all the reacitons in living systems are thermodynamic. Some of thems are exergonic which liberate heat energy and some are endergonic which utilize heat energy. Same type of reactions utilize or liberate same amount of heat energy. This energy will be constant for a particular reaction. The amount of heat liberated by same type of reactions in any microbial culture will be directly proportional to the number of microbes. So by finding the amount of heat energy produced or utilized by any microbial culture one can estimate the number of microbes present in that culture. This is the principle behind microbial calorimetry. S.Manu. Lecturer, MVJ College of Engineering, Bangalore. The number of microbes may not be accurate but it will be in the range. It depends on different aciviteis of the microbes and the growth phase of the microbes. They liberate different amonut of heat in different phases. So many correction factors are needed to make out correct number of microbes in a culture.
Why is nitrogen essential to the growth of a fungus?
Nitrogen is a major nutrient or macronutrient for microbes as wells as other organisms. Absolutely essential for aminoacids and protein synthersis. Deficiency cause many disease related to protein deficiency and microbes will not able to gro well so that is a reason that we add peptone in culture medium for microbes
Why is it important not to open sterile plates?
If you do open one or more of them, you can contaminate them with microbes. These will most likely not be the ones you are trying to culture. It can give you a false negative.
Why is it important not to open sterile agar plates?
If you do open one or more of them, you can contaminate them with microbes. These will most likely not be the ones you are trying to culture. It can give you a false negative.
What are the different classes of microbes?
1) Prokaryotes2) Bacteria3) Archaea4) Eukaryotes5) Protists6) Micro-animal7) Fungi8) Plants
Where can't microbes live?
microbes can live anywhere!
What kills microbes?
sometimes Bactria can kill microbes
What do microbes produce to kill other microbes?
they kill them!
What microbes are found in kimchi?
