Why aren't all bacteria killed by antibiotics?

Penicillium inhibits growth of gram positive cocci and neiserria spp. streptomycin does not, this allows it to be effective. Anti-microbial agents can't be equally effective because they have different qualities that inhibit growth of different organisms.


Why is it a poor idea to sterilize a petri dish with UV light?

UV light can damage the DNA of microorganisms, but not all bacteria are affected equally. Some bacteria are resistant to UV light and can survive, leading to a false sense of cleanliness in the petri dish. It is more effective to use heat or chemical methods to sterilize a petri dish.


Does bacteria grow faster in the dark?
