- The number of bacterial cells in a culture broth is to be determined by a culture technique. Serial dilutions were performed and a 0.1 mL aliquot from each dilution was spread onto Plate Count Agar (PCA). The number of bacterial colony forming units (CFU) after overnight incubation are shown as listed in the table below. What is the number of colony forming units per mL of the culture broth? Choose only the most appropriate plate for your calculation. Give your answer as the number only (do not add text for the units). You may use scientific notation with the format 1.12e+6 (that is, 1.12 x 106 cfu/mL). (Note: Canvas will then display your answer a whole number.)

- What is the physical appearance (solid, liquid, semi-solid) of following media:Agar deep tubeA patient sample will be analyzed. You are responsible to quantify the bacteria number. The dilution series shown in the Figure ( Dilution.jpg) is prepared and 1 ml from each tube is plated. Plates were grown 24 hours resulting in colonies in each plate. Which plate you will use to quantify the bacteria in the patient sample? Why did you pick that plate? What is the dilution factor used in this series? Calculate the number of bacteria in the original patient sample. What would you do and why, if there were too many colonies to count on each plate?In this section you will present the results of all the tests that was done to identify your organism Enterobacter aerogenes (your observation). In the laboratory we tabulated our results and created a chart (ID Matrix). Here you are describing the result of each test (in your own words). Include the name of the Indicator used (if any). Color changes that represent positive/negative results must be mentioned here. Your organism is a Gram-negative organism (Enterobacter aerogenes) You must discuss all the IMViC tests and Hydrogen sulfide test in DETAIL. 1. Indole test 2. Methyl red test 3. Vogues-Proskauer test 4. Citrate Test 5. Hydrogen Sulphide Test
- Describe characteristics of Streptococcus Agalactiae in the Agar: (How does colonies look like (color) and explain does it grow on that agar. (Don't have to write the incubation period) ~ Only describe how would it look like on the Agar: Blood Agar (Aerobic) MacConkey EMB PEA Mannitol Salt Agar Chocolate Agar Nutrient AgarYou must write up your OWN dichotomous key for all the possible unknown organisms listed below . The first step of the key will be the Gram Stain. Subsequent steps will include biochemical tests only. Solve the identity of an unknown bacterial specimen by creating a dichotomous key and using the staining, culturing and biochemical identification procedures . Possible Organisms Alcaligenes faecalis Enterobacter aerogenes Enterococcus faecalis Escherichia coli Proteus vulgaris Pseudomonas aeruginosa Salmonella arizoniae Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcus epidermidis Staphylococcus saprophyticus Streptococcusbovis Streptococcus pyogenes Imp Note - the test should be performed using any of the following tests stated below. Bile Escalin test, Oxidaze test, Blood Agar , Catalese Test, Mannitol salt agar . Thank you !When you interpret a Gram-stained smear, you should also describe the morphology (shape) of the cells, and their arrangement. In the figure below, there are two distinct types of bacteria, distinguishable by Gram stain reaction, and also by their shape and arrangement. Below, describe these characteristics for both bacteria: Gram positive bacterium Gram negative bacterium Morphology cocci bacillus Arrangement
- When testing the efficacy of an antibiotic against bacteria on an agar plate, it is important to spread the bacteria evenly across the plate before you add the antibiotic. Why do the bacteria need to be applied evenly? None of the following are true All of the following are true If you add more bacteria in some areas compared to others, it might obscure the effect of the antibiotic If the area right next to the antibiotic initially received relatively few bacterial cells, that might lead you to overestimate the effectiveness of the antibiotic If the area right next to the antibiotic initially received a relatively large number of bacterial cells, that might lead you to underestimate the effectiveness of the antibioticYou must write up your OWN dichotomous key for all the possible unknown organisms listed below. The first step of the key will be the Gram Stain and the second will be Gram negative. Subsequent steps will include biochemical tests only. Solve the identity of an unknown bacterial specimen by creating a dichotomous key and using the staining, culturing and biochemical identification procedures . Possible Organisms Alcaligenes faecalis Enterobacter aerogenes Enterococcus faecalis Escherichia coli Proteus vulgaris Pseudomonas aeruginosa Salmonella arizoniae Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcus epidermidis Staphylococcus saprophyticus Streptococcusbovis Streptococcus pyogenes. Can you please help me find the dichotomous key . Thank you !Below is an MSA plate inoculated with bacteria and grown at 37*C for 2 days. Be pecific and thorough in your answers for parts a and b below. The color of the plate is yellow because b) The presence of bacterial colonies indicates that the bacteria can survive
