Why is motility medium inoculated only one half the way down the tube?
Motility medium is inoculated only halfway down the tube to observe the migration of motile bacteria from the point of inoculation. This allows for the determination of the motility of the bacteria based on their ability to move away from the point of inoculation. If the bacteria are motile, they will spread throughout the medium, resulting in turbidity along the line of inoculation.
Is Rhizobium motile?
No, Rhizobium is not motile. It is a non-motile bacterium that forms a symbiotic relationship with plant roots by fixing nitrogen.
Are protozoa motile?
air, water, and other organisms
What is the opposite of a sessile?
The opposite of sessile is motile. Motile organisms are able to move or change position on their own, as opposed to sessile organisms which are fixed in one place.
Are viruses free-living organisms?
viruses are not technically alive because they cant reproduce by themselves, eat, break down food, or grow
How is SIM medium used to detect motility?
SIM agar may be used to detect motile organisms. Motility is recognized when culture growth (turbidity) of flagellated organisms is not restricted to the line of inoculation. Growth of non-motile organisms is confined to the line of inoculation.
What makes organisms motile?
An organism is motile if it has the power to move.
Are plants motile or non-motile?
If an organism is motile then it can move. Plants are not motile.

Organism which is indole negative mr positive vp negative citrate positive?
Sounds like Citrobacter freundii. Double check that you do have a gram negative rod that is motile, H2S negative and oxidative negative (most gram neg rods are).
Which kingdoms are motile?
The animal kingdom is mainly composed of motile organisms, while most organisms in the plant kingdom are non-motile. Some protists and fungi can also exhibit motility.
What aspect of microbial properties can be observed via stab inoculation technique?
The motility of a microorganism can be observed. Motile organisms, using the flagellum, will move away from the stab line, hence will appear to have "diffused" into the medium. Non-motile organisms will remain in the stab line.
What is the Morphology of Campylobacter?
Gram-negative, spiral, and microaerophilic. Motile, with either unipolar or bipolar flagella, the organisms have a characteristic spiral/corkscrew appearance and are oxidase-positive
Are protozoa motile?
air, water, and other organisms
What is the opposite of a sessile?
The opposite of sessile is motile. Motile organisms are able to move or change position on their own, as opposed to sessile organisms which are fixed in one place.
An organism which is capable of moving around its environment is considered to be?
an animal
