What is turbid broth?
Turbid broth is a liquid medium used in microbiology that appears cloudy due to the presence of microbial growth. The cloudiness indicates that bacteria or other microorganisms have multiplied within the broth. Turbid broth is often used to culture and study bacteria in laboratory settings.
What is the film of cells at the surface of a broth called?
The film of cells at the surface of a broth is typically referred to as a "pellicle." This pellicle forms as a result of bacterial growth and can be observed in certain bacterial cultures, especially those with aerobic bacteria that form biofilms at the air-liquid interface.
What is it called when fat separates from broth?
When fat separates from broth, it is called skimming. Skimming involves removing the fat that rises to the top of the broth using a spoon or a fat separator.
What is the difference between nutrient broth and nutrient agar and can you elaborate more?
When 2%agar is added to nutrient broth ,it is called nutrient agar.Nutrition Broth is liquid media containing beef extract and peptone.Nutrition Agar is solid media containing beef extract, peptone, and agar
How does thioglycollate work?
Thioglycolate is a reducing agent that helps to create anaerobic conditions in culture media by removing oxygen. This is achieved by reacting with oxygen and forming sulfur dioxide, which depletes the available oxygen in the medium. In microbiology, thioglycolate is often used to culture anaerobic bacteria that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen.
How could you tell the bacteria were growing in the culture?
Bacteria growth can be detected by an increase in turbidity (cloudiness) of the culture, formation of colonies on agar plates, or by changes in pH or color of the medium due to metabolic byproducts. Additionally, observing the presence of a pellicle, sediment, or turbidity in a liquid culture can indicate bacterial growth.

In Selenite broth why subculture from the top of the broth after incubation?
Subculturing from the top of the Selenite broth after incubation is done to isolate the target pathogen, such as Salmonella or Shigella. These bacteria are known to accumulate on the surface due to their characteristic growth patterns. By subculturing from the top layer, it increases the likelihood of obtaining a pure culture for further identification and testing.
The advantages and disadvantages of a broth tube culture compared to a culture on a Petri plate?
Advantages of broth tube culture: It allows for the growth of bacteria in a liquid medium which can facilitate the study of motility and oxygen requirements of bacteria, and it can provide a larger quantity of bacteria for testing. Disadvantages of broth tube culture: It can be difficult to isolate and identify specific colonies within a liquid medium compared to a solid medium like a Petri plate, making it challenging for colony counting and purity assessments. Additionally, broth tube cultures may not provide as clear visualization of bacterial growth compared to colonies on a Petri plate.
Why does E-coli grow in nutrient broth better than in thio-glycolate broth?
The purpose of the thio-glycolate broth, which, if memory serves, is a semi-solid agar, is to determine oxygen requirements. E. coli is a facultative anaerobe which means it prefers aerobic conditions but can grow (to a lesser extent) anaerobically. So you will see growth at the top of the thio-glycolate tube mainly where there is oxygen, perhaps some just along the shallow stab line from inoculation. It will not permeate throughout the medium since it prefers aerobic respiration and oxygen is available at the top.
I am growing bacteria and there's this white fuzzy stuff on top of it. Is that bacteria too or is it something else?
The white fuzzy stuff on top of your bacteria culture is likely mold. Mold can grow on top of bacteria cultures due to contamination. It's important to discard the culture to prevent further contamination and start a new culture.
What is it called when fat separates from broth?
When fat separates from broth, it is called skimming. Skimming involves removing the fat that rises to the top of the broth using a spoon or a fat separator.
How do you collect and analyze bacteria?
you can catch bacteria by not coughing and sneezing into a hankie.
Are brothes soup?
yes a broth is a type of soup.like Top Ramon, for example the watery part is broth but they still call it soup.i like broth and soup but i only like one thing.
How many layers should a euro top mattress have?
chicken broth:)
How do you make moist cornbread?
You can make your cornbread dressing more moist by adding more broth to the recipe. When you pour the dressing into the baking pan, if you have a little broth standing on top, it should turn out moist. Another way is, when you add the broth to the dressing mixture, stir it well, and let it sit for a little while to allow the cornbread to absorb the moisture. Then add more broth. I have also checked the dressing during baking, and if it seems to be getting dry, I drizzle broth over the top and put it back in the oven. The broth you add will absorb into the dressing.
