Why is Sabouraud's dextrose agar a selective medium?
Sabouraud's dextrose agar is a selective medium because its low pH inhibits the growth of most bacteria while promoting the growth of fungi and yeast. Additionally, the high sugar content promotes the growth of fungi and suppresses the growth of bacteria.
Agent that slows or stops the growth of bacteria?
Antibiotics inhibit the growth of bacteria.
What does the bacteria growth graph reveal about the rate of proliferation over time?
The bacteria growth graph shows how the rate of bacteria proliferation changes over time. It can reveal patterns such as exponential growth, plateauing, or decline in growth rate. By analyzing the graph, we can understand how quickly the bacteria population is increasing or decreasing over time.
Why a bandage left on a wound for a number of days can promote the growth of bacteria rather than control it?
Moisture from the wound can get trapped under the bandage, creating a warm, damp environment ideal for bacterial growth. Additionally, as the bandage becomes soiled over time, it can introduce new sources of bacteria to the wound. Regularly changing the bandage helps to prevent bacterial overgrowth and promotes wound healing.
Why might it be prefered to incubate medium at 37 degrees C with inoculated control then transfer tubes to refrigeator?
Incubating at 37°C promotes optimal bacterial growth for the control. Transferring to the refrigerator slows down bacterial growth and prevents overgrowth. This process allows for controlled bacterial growth and can help in analyzing the effects of the bacteria under specific conditions.
What are standing water bodies?
Standing bodies of water are those which have no movement. This promotes the growth of bacteria, algae, and mosquitoes within the water.
What conditions conditions promotes the growth of bacteria?

What is promine sulfate?
Promine, which promotes growth, and retine, which retards growth.
What promotes the growth of endometrial tissue?
Estrogen
What promotes plant growth and phototropism?
auxins
What promotes fruit growth?
Auxins promote cytokinins, so they then work together to promote fruit growth while ethylene promotes fruit ripening.
Why are antibiotics frequently added to sabouraud agar for isolation of fungi from clinical samples?
Antibiotics are added to Sabouraud agar to prevent the growth of bacteria, which can outcompete fungi in clinical samples. By inhibiting bacterial growth, the antibiotics help create a more selective environment that promotes the growth of fungi, making it easier to isolate and identify them from the sample.
Why is it important to lower the pH of fermented foods?
Lowering the pH of fermented foods helps to create an environment that promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria while inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria. This is crucial for ensuring the safety and quality of the fermented product, as well as contributing to its unique flavor and texture.
What type of drug promotes cell growth?
Growth hormone (GH or HGH), also known as somatotropin or somatropin, promotes cell growth. It also has been used in doping to enhance athletic performance.
What makes a tomato rot faster the light or the dark?
Tomatoes rot faster when exposed to light because light promotes the growth of mold and bacteria on the surface of the tomato, accelerating the decay process. In contrast, storing tomatoes in a dark environment can help slow down the rotting process by reducing the chances of mold and bacteria growth.
What are the benefits of using a water sealed fermentation crock for fermenting foods?
Using a water sealed fermentation crock for fermenting foods helps create an anaerobic environment that promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria while preventing the growth of harmful bacteria. This can result in a more consistent and controlled fermentation process, leading to tastier and more nutritious fermented foods.
