What is an auxanogram?
An auxanogram is a culture of microorganisms used in auxanography - the study of the effects of changes of environment in the growth of microorganisms.
Why would the lab reject the specimen if you forget to break the vial in the culturette?
Forgetting to break the vial in a culturette can prevent the specimen from being properly exposed to the culture medium, hindering the growth of any potential microorganisms present in the sample. This may lead to inaccurate test results and compromise the validity of the culture. Thus, the lab may reject the specimen to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the outcomes.
What is a culture media used to support growth of microorganisms?
Agar
The term culture refers to the rapid growth of microorganisms in a what?
Microbial culture helps to detrmine the type of organism or the abundance in a sample. It is the multiplication of microbes by allowing them to reproduce in a culture media under laboratory conditions.
Why is distilled water used in the preparation of culture media?
Distilled water is free from impurities and minerals, which could interfere with the growth of microorganisms in culture media. Using distilled water ensures that the composition of the culture media is consistent and provides an optimal environment for the growth of microorganisms.
What is an inoculating needle used for?
An inoculating needle is used in a microbiology lab to collect microorganisms from a culture and move them to a petri dish.
Why media culture is specifically?
Culture media should be specific to avoid contamination of unwanted microorganisms and to obtain a pure culture of microorganisms.
Name some of the microorganisms that are difficult to culture under laboratory conditions?
Some examples of microorganisms that are challenging to culture in a lab are Mycobacterium leprae, Treponema pallidum (the causative agent of syphilis), and certain types of archaea that live in extreme environments. These organisms have specific growth requirements that are difficult to replicate outside of their natural habitats.
When was The LAB created?
The LAB was created in 1984.
What is the name of a lab culture gel?
Agar gel is commonly used in laboratory settings to culture bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. It provides a solid medium for microbial growth and is often supplemented with nutrients and antibiotics to support specific types of organisms.

What makes the results of a skin culture normal?
Many types of microorganisms are normally found on a person's skin. Presence of these microorganisms is noted on a skin culture report as "normal flora."
Why isn't water used to preserve microorganisms in the lab?
All of the microorganisms would absorb the water, and become corrupted because of the microorganism's that water itself contains.
What culture media is used to support growth of microorganisms?
