What is meant by incubation period?

Incubation period refers to the time between exposure to a pathogen (such as a virus or bacteria) and the appearance of symptoms of the resulting illness. During this period, the pathogen multiplies within the body before symptoms become apparent.


Why are bacterial cultures shaken during incubation?

For obligate aerobes, which are bacteria that require oxygen to grow, the shaking of the culture aerates the bacteria sufficiently to allow for growth. Facultative anaerobes also grow well under such conditions since they are bacteria that do not require oxygen, but do grow better under such conditions. Older answer: The culture plated should be inverted (not necessarily shaken) during incubation so that moisture does not collect on the surface of the agar, which could cause clumping of the colonies.


Why Krebs ringer bicarbonate solution is used for muscle incubation?

Krebs Ringer bicarbonate solution is used for muscle incubation because it closely mimics the physiological conditions found in the body. It provides the necessary ions, nutrients, and pH levels to maintain muscle integrity and function during incubation experiments. Additionally, the bicarbonate helps buffer the solution and maintain stable pH levels for optimal muscle performance.
