How does adding the sterile mineral oil affect the specificity or the sensitivity of the Decarboxylation Test?
When you add mineral oil for Decarboxylation test you do not need a thick layer of oil, you only need enough to cover the surface of the medium. This promotes fermentation by locking out oxygen, and it also prevents false alkalinization at the surface of the medium.
Hopefully my answer can help you. =)

What does a culture and sensitivity tube consists of?
A culture and sensitivity tube typically contains a sterile tube with a culture medium to support the growth of microorganisms. The tube is used to collect samples for culture testing, where the microorganisms are identified and tested against various antibiotics to determine the most effective treatment.
How do you preserve a sample for culture and sensitivity?
To preserve a sample for culture and sensitivity testing, it should be collected aseptically in a sterile container. The sample should be kept at the appropriate temperature and delivered to the lab promptly to prevent overgrowth of contaminating organisms. It is important to follow specific guidelines provided by the laboratory for proper preservation and transportation of the sample.
Are sterile water and sterile distilled water the same?
no. Distilled water has had all chemicals and minerals removed, usually by steaming and re-condensation. Sterile water has been treated, usually heat treated, to destroy pathogens (any living organisms). So, you can sterilize distilled water, but not all distilled water is sterile. manufacturing criteria do NOT require that regular distilled water be packaged to prevent contamination. Water sold as sterile water must be packaged to avoid contamination. On the other hand, water full of minerals can be sterilized; the minerals are still present. So if you want mineral free, organism free water, you need sterile distilled; if just mineral free, distilled.
Why is it incorrect to say that an object is partially sterile?
Saying that an object is partially sterile is incorrect because something is either sterile (completely devoid of all living organisms) or not sterile (may contain some level of microorganisms). Sterility is an absolute state, and there is no middle ground with partial sterility.

What is the function of sterile mineral oil in the maintenance of stock cultures?
Sterile mineral oil is used to create a barrier on the surface of the culture media in order to prevent the entry of contaminants and maintain a stable environment for the stock cultures. It helps to reduce the risk of contamination and dehydration of the cultures during storage.
What is the Function of sterile mineral oil in the maintenance of stock culture?
To prevent moisture loss. A.C.
What is the difference between sterile distilled water and sterile water?
Sterile distilled water has no microbial contamination and is distilled and and sterile water merely has no microbial contamination.Distillation is the process of separation by heating a liquid until it evaporates and then condensing the steam back into a purer liquid as all contamination remains in the part which does not evaporate.
