Because the culture is aerated, allowing the E. coli to have an ample supply of oxygen during incubation.
LB broth
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.
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.
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.
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
E. coli bacteria grow best at a pH of around 7.4 to 7.6.
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.

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.
the best I think LB
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.
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.
