Does each discrete colony represent the growth of one cell on an agar plate?

This is one part of a two part answer. Q: Does each discrete colony represent the growth of one cell? Explain your answer. Why can a single colony on a plate be used to start a pure culture? A: No because a discrete colony is the growth of the descendants of a single cell. The cell will self replicate it self on the growth medium to produce more copies of it self thus creating a colony. A single colony has many cells in the colony. Cells from the colony can be extracted and then placed in a pure culture for better growth. A.C.


What is the difference between a colony a CFU and a bacterial cell?

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.


IS A single colony 1 organism?

No, it is a population of bacteria that grows from the cell or cells that landed on that spot on the plate.
