This is often the result of using far too many bacteria. You only need to take a very small loop from the bacterial culture to make a clear smear.

How would you define a properly prepared bacterial smear?

the bacteria are evenly spread out on the prepared slide in such a concentration that they are adequately separated from one another bacteria are not washed off the slide during staining bacterial form is not distorted


What type of scientist studies how bacteria is affected by bacteria?

The type of scientist who studies how bacteria are affected by bacteria is typically a microbiologist, specifically one who specializes in bacteriology. This field explores bacterial interactions, including competition, cooperation, and the effects of one bacterial species on another. Researchers may focus on various aspects such as antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and microbial ecology to understand these dynamics better.


In regards to bacterial growth define colony?

A colony is a visible cluster of bacteria that has grown and divided on a solid agar surface. Each colony arises from a single bacterial cell and represents a genetically identical population of bacteria. Colonies can vary in size, color, shape, and other characteristics depending on the type of bacteria.


What is the process by which bacteria take piece's of DNA from their environment?

Conjugation Transformation Transduction (A bacterial cell takes up DNA from its environment One bacterium transfers DNA to another bacterium to which it's physically connected A virus moves DNA from one bacterial cell to another)


The process by which one strain of bacteria is apparently changed into another strain is called what?

The process by which one strain of bacteria is apparently changed into another strain is called bacterial transformation. This process involves the uptake and expression of foreign DNA by bacteria, leading to genetic changes.


When and how bacterial vaginosis reached the us?

Bacterial vagnosis isn't a germ that originated in one place and traveled to another. It's an imbalance in the normal bacteria of the vagina, with an overgrowth of bacteria that are normally found in the rectal area.


What are the transgenic bacteria?

Transgenic bacteria are bacteria that have been genetically modified to contain genes from another organism. These genes are usually inserted to give the bacteria new functions, such as producing a specific protein or metabolizing a particular substance. Transgenic bacteria are commonly used in biotechnology and research.


Which type of sexual exchange occurs among bacteria in which DNA is carried into a bacterial cell by means of bacteriophage?

Transduction is the type of sexual exchange among bacteria in which DNA is carried into a bacterial cell by means of a bacteriophage virus. The bacteriophage acts as a carrier of genetic material, facilitating the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another during the infection process.


What do human cells have in common with bacteria cells?

Humans are related to bacteria in that they are both a part of the Earth. They interact with one another, and while some bacteria is actually helpful to humans, many kinds of bacteria can be harmful.


What plasmids are and how they are used to get bacteria to synthesize a new protein that they normally do not synthesize?

Plasmids are circles of DNA. These have genes that can be transferred from one bacteria that has it to another. These genes can code for a protein that one cell normally doesn't code for. This done by a process called bacterial conjugation.


How can one slow the reproductive process of bacteria?

Bacterial reproduction can be slowed by increasing or decreasing the pH, providing them nutrient deficient medium. In process of reproduction, they also require phosphorus and iron. If there is an increase in pH they won't be able to assimilate iron and phosphorus.
