Microbiology If there were no plaques on your plate offer an explanation?

Because viruses cannot multiply without a host cell, they cannot be grown in sterile media the way bacteria can. Host cells must be provided for the virus to infect. Bacteriophage may be cultured with bacterial cells in liquid culture or on plates. To culture on plates, bacteria and bacteriophage are combined in melted agar and then poured into plates. The bacterial cells divide and evenly cover the surface of the plate forming a lawn. Wherever bacterial cells have been destroyed by the bacteriophage, clearings called plaques will appear in the lawn. Because it is harder to culture animal cells than it is for most bacteria, it is also more difficult to grow animal viruses in the lab. Some animal cells will grow in culture dishes much as bacteria do and will form a single layer on the bottom of a dish that contains a suitable growth medium. Viruses that can infect these cells can be grown along with them. Animal cells that are infected by the virus will display visible deterioration. Some viruses whose host cells can not be grown in culture can be grown in living animals such as rabbits, mice, and guinea pigs. Other viruses can be grown in fertilized chicken eggs. However, because some viral host ranges are highly specific, each virus infects only certain cell types, I cannot grow all cells in culture, yes grow all viruses.


Does a temperate forest have coniferous trees?

There is a bit of "transition" between areas of permafrost and the coniferous forests, but yes, a few trees will grow over permafrost. These trees will grow if there is sufficient "relief" in the form of seasonal thawing. That thawing allows soil of sufficient depth to unfreeze and support a larger plant like a tree. Trees would need a little longer period of thawing and enough of the soil to thaw so they can survive than, say, bushes, shrubs or flowering plants like those of the tundra.


What are some of the differences between a bacteriophage and a bacterium?

A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects a bacterium. Viruses are typically considered nonliving, while a bacterium is a living organism. A bacterium can reproduce by itself, while a virus needs a host in order to replicate. A bacteriophage is much smaller and the term means bacteria eater.


Where does straw berry grow?

Strawberries grow on low-growing plants that form runners, called stolons. They are typically cultivated in gardens and fields that have fertile, well-drained soil and receive plenty of sunlight. Strawberries are perennial plants and can thrive in a variety of climates, but they are most commonly grown in temperate regions.


Which disease causes hair root sticky?

Alopecia mucinosa is a rare form of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that can cause hair follicles to become sticky due to excessive mucin production. This condition is characterized by red-brown patches or plaques on the skin associated with hair loss. A dermatologist can help diagnose and manage this condition.

Why maltose is used in phage titration?

Maltose is used in phage titration because some bacteriophages use maltose as a carbon source. By including maltose in the diluent, the phages are provided with the necessary nutrients to replicate and form visible plaques on a bacterial lawn, which can then be counted to calculate the phage titer.


What are the six stages of Bacteriophage attacking the cell?

1. Adsorption- when the virus attaches to the cell 2. Entry- when the virus's DNA is injected into the cell's 3. Replication- when the cell makes lots of new parts for new viruses 4. Assembly when the "virus pieces form new viruses 5. Lyse- when the cell explodes and the new viruses are released.


What is a bacterial phage?

A virus that infects bacteria.The word phage comes from the Greek and means to eat or ingest. There are different types of phages, each quite specific to a particular bacteria. Phage technology is a relatively new science which uses virus to infect and consume bacteria, although the beginnings date to the early 20th century.(It was discarded when antibiotics were discovered).

Are there tornadoes and hurricanes in the temperate zone of earth?

Yes, tornadoes can occur in the temperate zone, but they are more common in the Tornado Alley region of North America. Hurricanes, on the other hand, typically form in tropical regions and then move into the temperate zones.


What is unique about transduction compared to normal bateriophage infection?

Transduction involves the transfer of bacterial DNA from one bacterium to another using a bacteriophage as a vector, whereas normal bacteriophage infection results in the lysis of the host bacterium after replication. Transduction is a form of horizontal gene transfer that can transfer genetic material such as antibiotic resistance genes between bacteria, while normal bacteriophage infection primarily involves viral replication and host cell lysis.


Is a provirus a temperate virus?

Yes, a provirus is a type of temperate virus. A provirus is a form of a virus that has integrated its genetic material into the host cell's DNA, remaining dormant until it is activated. Temperate viruses can exist in both the lytic and lysogenic cycles, with the lysogenic cycle involving integration of viral DNA into the host genome to form a provirus.


Is phage the untouchable a powerful card?

No in a nutshell. She is easy to deal with, is expensive to play and you can't use alternate casting methods to play her. That said if your opponent can't deal with her or at least block her, she wins you the game. However, most players call her 'phage the unplayable'. she was supposed to be a rival of Akroma, angel of wrath but in card form at least akroma wins hands down.
