Because the culture is aerated, allowing the E. coli to have an ample supply of oxygen during incubation.

What did the control broth inoculated with Escherichia coli demonstrate?

The control broth inoculated with Escherichia coli should demonstrate bacterial growth as expected. If there is no growth in the control broth, it may indicate issues with the inoculation process, the broth itself, or other experimental variables affecting bacterial growth.


Can the calibration curve for E. coli cultured in TSB be used to estimate CFUmL of E. coli in LTB (lauryl tryptose broth)?

The calibration curve for E. coli cultured in TSB (tryptic soy broth) may not be directly applicable for estimating CFU/mL in LTB (lauryl tryptose broth) due to differences in nutrient compositions and growth conditions between the two broths. These variations can affect the growth rate and morphology of E. coli, leading to discrepancies in cell density measurements. Therefore, it is advisable to establish a separate calibration curve specifically for E. coli grown in LTB for accurate quantification.


What is terrific broth?

Terrific broth is a type of bacterial growth medium that is used for culturing recombinant strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in biotechnology and molecular biology research. It contains amino acids, glucose, and other nutrients to support the growth of the bacteria and expression of genes of interest.


Why didn't we inoculate MUG agar directly and bypass lactose broth?

The intended use of Nutrient Agar with MUG is for detecting an enumerating E. Coli in water. This lab wasn't looking specifically and only for e.coli. It was looking for other types of coliforms as well. this is my best guess


At what pH does E. coli grow best?

E. coli bacteria grow best at a pH of around 7.4 to 7.6.


Would the standard curve obtained with E Coli grown in TSB broth be valid to measure an E coli culture growing in NB?

as long as you blanked with the media in your standard curve and blank with the NB for your unknown, then the curve should still be viable.

What is LB stand for in biology?

In biology, LB stands for Lysogeny Broth, which is a commonly used nutrient-rich media for culturing bacteria such as Escherichia coli. It contains tryptone, yeast extract, NaCl, and sometimes agar, providing the necessary nutrients for bacterial growth.

Composition of double strength lactose broth?

Double strength lactose broth typically contains peptone, yeast extract, lactose, and possibly other nutrients or supplements. It is commonly used for the cultivation of coliform bacteria, such as E. coli, in microbiology labs.


Why is only LB broth used for molecular biology work?

An LB medium isn't the only medium used in microbiology; it depends on the microbe and what the microbiologist is trying to achieve. But for general growth of bacteria (usually E. coli), the LB broth is most commonly used because the nutrients allow for optimal growth.
