NaCl is a constituent of many media require for the growth of mcirobial culture it has a significance that it provide the osmotic balance i.e. it helps in osmoregulation and also in transport of material in and out of the microbial cell (active transprot) Although it has been observed that in prokaryotic microbial cultures( except fungi) it is not necessary to add sodium chloride in basic media like nutrient agar because of the already presence of these ions in beef extract, yeast extract or other natural contituent.

Is an electric current conducted by a solution of sodium chloride?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.Sodium chloride in water solutions or molten sodium chloride are electrolytes.
Sodium chloride is formed from ions and chloride?
Not quite right. Sodium chloride is formed from sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-)
What is the word equation for reaction to prepare Sodium Chloride?
sodium plus chlorine yields sodium chloride
What intermolecular forces are present in sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride does not exist as molecules.
How many moles of sodium chloride are there in 250 mL of a 1.20 M sodium chloride solution?
This solution contain 0,3 mol of sodium chloride.
What is the composition of modified nutrient glucose agar media?
Modified nutrient glucose agar is composed of agar, water, glucose, extracts, peptone and sodium chloride. Modified nutrient glucose agar allows organisms to grow.
Why 7.5 percent sodium chloride agar is selective media?
Because 7.5% NaCl agar inhibits gram negative organisms from growing, and is "selective" in that only gram positive organisms can grow in this type of agar.
What is the composition of a minimal salt with glucose agar?
Glucose 5.0g Ammonium phosphate monobasic 1.0g Sodium chloride 5.0g Magnesium sulfate .2g Potassium Phosphate dibasic 1.0g Agar 15g Water 1L

Why is sodium chloride different from sodium chloride crystals in its electricity conductivity?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.Sodium chloride in water solutions or molten sodium chloride are electrolytes.
What elements are in sodium chloride other than sodium and chloride?
Sodium and chlorine are the only elements in sodium chloride.
What are the element of sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) contain chlorine and sodium.
What does sodium chloride produce on burning?
Sodium Chloride, common table salt, will not burn.
