What else can I help you with?
Which selective medium will you use if you have to isolate a fungus from a mixed culture of bacteria and fungi?
To isolate a fungus from a mixed culture of bacteria and fungi, you can use Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA), which is selective for fungi due to its high sugar content that supports fungal growth while inhibiting many bacteria. Additionally, adding antibiotics like chloramphenicol can further suppress bacterial growth, allowing for better isolation of the fungi. This medium provides the ideal environment for the growth of various fungal species while limiting bacterial interference.
What bacteroa-killing fungus did Fleming isolate in his 1928 experiment?
Fleming isolated the bacteria-killing fungus known as Penicillium notatum in his 1928 experiment, which led to the discovery of penicillin.
What kind of fungus is Staphylococcus aureus?
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria, not a fungus.
What fungus produces a substance that can kill bacteria?
One fungus that produces an antibiotic and will kill some bacteria is Penicillium.
Is potato blight a bacteria fungus or virus?
Potato blight is a fungus.

What bacteria killing fungus did Fleming isolate in his 1920 experiment?
Fleming isolated Penicillium notatum, a fungus that produced the antibiotic penicillin, in his 1928 experiment.
What bacteroa-killing fungus did Fleming isolate in his 1928 experiment?
Fleming isolated the bacteria-killing fungus known as Penicillium notatum in his 1928 experiment, which led to the discovery of penicillin.
What pathogen is often controlled by beneficial bacteria?
Fungus
What kind of fungus is Staphylococcus aureus?
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria, not a fungus.
What did Alexandra Fleming discover and how?
His name was Alexander, not Alexandra . . . he accidentally discovered that a type of fungus would kill bacteria when he accidentally got a bit of bread mold on a culture dish that had a good growth of bacteria on it. The mold killed the bacteria! When this type of fungus was refined, it became the active ingredient of the antibiotic, "Penicillin".
How are fungus cells difforent from bacteria cells?
Fungus cells are eukariyotic cells. Bacteria have prokariyotic cells
What fungus produces a substance that can kill bacteria?
One fungus that produces an antibiotic and will kill some bacteria is Penicillium.
What is a skin culture?
A skin culture is a test that is done to identify the microorganism (bacteria, fungus, or virus) causing a skin infection and to determine the antibiotic or other treatment that will effectively treat the infection.
Is potato blight a bacteria fungus or virus?
Potato blight is a fungus.
How do you isolate posarium wilt?
To isolate posarium wilt, begin by collecting symptomatic plant samples and examining them for signs of the Fusarium fungus, which causes the disease. Use a sterile technique to culture the fungus on selective media, such as potato dextrose agar, and incubate under appropriate conditions. Identify the colony morphology and use molecular methods, like PCR, for accurate identification. Once isolated, further pathogenicity tests can confirm the role of the fungus in causing wilt in host plants.
What is a fungus that kills strep throat bacteria?
Name of that fungus is penicillium notatum. Sir Alexander Fleming discovered the antibacterial property of this fungus in 1928. Penicillin is extracted from this fungus, which kills the strep throat causing bacteria.
