Why does a bacterial culture in a glucose-peptide medium cause the pH to increase?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
The metabolism of the peptides (as the baterial culture uses them) causes the production of ammonia, which increases the pH.

What limits bacterial growth within a culture of medium?
Nutrients and oxygen
What is it called when feces are placed in a growth medium for bacterial analysis?
stool culture
What information is gained from bacterial culture?
Many things can be found by using bacterial culture: Is this a bacterium in the first place. In what form does it show on a streak plate. Does it grow in air or not or both. Does it grow on everyday medium (nutrient agar) or does it need special medium (fastidious). What color is it on the medium. Is it sensitive to various antibiotics.

What algae is used to prepare a medium for bacterial culture?
Gracilaria algae used for prepare agar agar powder and it act as solidify agent in medium.
What is the function of media agar?
Agar, which is a polysaccharide polymer, is a solidifying agent for culture medium. It also provides a solid surface for bacterial growth.
What is an agar cube?

What is broth culture?
The culture which contain an organism (bacterial colony) which you are required to grow in a broth media that is a media lacking solidifying agent agar. A pure culture should not contain other bacterial or fungal cells in it except the required or cultured one
What type of bacteria is most likely to go through fermentation?
Assume you are growing bacteria on a lipid medium that started at pH 7. The action of bacterial lipases should cause the pH of the medium to increase or decrease? Why?
Why is culture medium cooled 48 temperature before is poured?
In pour plate technique the culture to be grwon is pour in melted agar medium, now when we add the diluted sample in agar plate and if the melted agar is very hot, it can lead to the damage of bacterial or fungal cell and may cause in abruption of growth, so the agar is cooled to get the optimum temp. for growth of microbial cell.
