What is the term that refers to the purposeful addition of microorganisms into a laboratory nutrient medium?
Inoculation is the term that refers to the purposeful addition of microorganisms into a laboratory nutrient medium.
How does autotrophic bacteria get food?
They are grown on medium that contains the nutrient that they cannot synthesize
Does Bacillus subtilis grow in MacConkey broth?
Bacillus subtilis is grown on nutrient agar or in nutrient broth. The preferred medium is M9 with glucose.
Why should a nutrient medium be sterile?
A sterile nutrient medium is important to prevent contamination by unwanted microorganisms that may interfere with the growth of the desired organism being cultured. Contaminants can alter the experimental results and compromise the purity of the culture.
What is half-strenght nutrient agar?
Half-strength nutrient agar is a growth medium used in microbiology, which contains half the concentration of nutrients compared to standard nutrient agar. It is typically made by diluting standard nutrient agar with an equal volume of distilled water. This medium is useful for cultivating sensitive microorganisms or for applications where reduced nutrient availability is desired. It supports the growth of a variety of bacteria while allowing for more controlled experiments.
What is nutrient agar?
simply agar medium

What are the equipments used in hydroponics farming?
Hydroponics substitute a nutrient medium in place of soil. for the plants to root and grow. The nutrient medium may be either a water solution or an inert material.
What will result when 1 to 5 agar is added to nutrient broth boiled and cooled?
The agar will solidify and form a gel-like substance in the nutrient broth. This agar-nutrient mixture is used as a solid medium for growing and isolating bacteria in a laboratory setting.
What nutrient medium that has all of its chemical components identified and their precise concentrations known and reproducible would be termed?
Defined medium.

Difference between solid state fermentation and submerged fermentation?
Submerged fermentation:" The organism which can grow under the beneath the surface of the medium is called " Ex.. liquid medium (Nutrient broth) solid state-fermentation : "Organisms which can grow on the surface of the medium is called solid state fermentation" Ex.. solid medium (Nutrient agar)

What other medium is commonly used for growth medium beside nutrient agar?
In our lab we use LB agar, LB broth, and 2XYT broth.
