Answer :)
Too little bacterial inoculum will give a bigger area of zone effect, which may be the whole plate. It is because not all the amount of the antibiotic or bactericide could be utilized. This will not provide a sufficient effect of the chemical on an optimum bacterial concentration.
Too heavy inoculum will grow more amount of bacteria on the plate, this time the antibiotic or bactericide may or may not able to show the zone of inhibition. It is because too much concentration of bacterial cells will hide the effect of the chemical.
4) What zone effects would you get by putting too heavy or light amount of bacterial...
Lab Exercise - Ultraviolet Light-Lethal Effects Please review the below videos as well as read introduction, materials, methods & procedures in the lab manuals and answer the following questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4arnMlhbpE&app=desktop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMN9ZGSHZW 1) Why was half of each plate covered with an index card? 2) Suppose you've tested the effect of UV radiation on bacterial growth for E. coli vs. S. aureus plates. How did the growth on E. Coli plates differ from the growth on the S. aureus plates that...
1. Fill in the table above with what you observe on your plates. 2. Bacterial transformation occurred on which agar plate (s)? What evidence do you have that the bacteria were transformed here? 3. Which plates have glowing growth? Explain what causes bacteria to glow. II. Transformation of E. coli with Plasmid DNA (PGLO) 1. Three LB (Luria Broth) agar plates are obtained. The plates contain: • Plate A: LB-Agar/Ampicillin/Arabinose • Plate B: LB-Agar/Ampicillin • Plate C: LB-Agar 2. Three...

2. In what units of measure do we use for a zone of inhibition? 3. Given the picture shown here, what steps do you need to go through to decide which of these antibiotics would be best for use on a patient? Zone with no bacterial growth Bacteria growing on agar gel Antibiotic disc 4. What was the purpose of the catalase test that you did for the Unknown Identification? 5. Explain how each of the following contributes to bacterial...
Suppose you found yourself living in the habitable zone of planetary system with a dimmer or bringter star than our Sun. What else would be different ? Your location? Available light and heat ? Deadly radiation? What are some of the concerns we have regarding our own Sun?
4. What would be the effect on the heat flux in the grinding zone of swapping from an aluminium oxide grinding wheel to a cubic boron nitride grinding wheel?
What (other than motility) bacterial structural (as seen with a light microscope) or biochemical characteristics could be useful in eventual identification of your bacterial species (list at least 4)? You may need to look at additional chapters in your lab book or text book.
12a. If you plated transformed cells on LB, what would the growth look like? Why? b. How else could growth occur on plates with both antibiotics with regard to “successful” transformation? (Hint: How else could you both genes “get into” bacterial cells?) c. What other ways can growth occur on plates with both antibiotics () that do not have anything to do with transformation/molecular cloning?
if you left the plates about 8 or more hours in the incubator what would it do to the zone sizes and results
