Staphylococcus aureusis fairly small, even by bacterial standards. It's about 40 times smaller than the width of a human hair. It's four times smaller than your red blood cells. It takes a highly magnified microscope to see it at all. S. aureusappears when growing on agar medium as smal...
Blood is the liquid that constantly circulating in the body to deliver oxygen to support various organ functions, transport nutrients, and removes waste from the body. Aside from these functions, other blood components act as the primary defense against foreign substances a...
What is the method that some bacteria undergo in which some or all of their genetic material is transferred to another bacterium? In the selective medium used in biology to grow bacteria, what characteristic/type of bacteria are they selective for? In differential, what characteristic/type o...
The tape stripping technique demonstrated that MPs permitted nicotinamide to overcome the SC and deposited it in the epidermis without permeating the acceptor medium. No data were reported for ascorbic acid as its concentration was due to the permeated amount below the detection limits of the ...

In this test, theStreptococcus agalactiaeis first streaked in the center of the sheep blood agar medium. Then theClostridium perfringensis streaked perpendicular to it. Later, the plate is incubated at 37oC for 24 to 48 hours in anaerobic conditions. An arrowhead type of enhanced hemolysis is ...
of the active flavonoid, its subsequent isolation and purification from other compounds, using analytical methods, is a multistage procedure. A combination of several technologies can be used for isolation of specific compounds, including solvent extraction, column chromatography, medium-pressure liquid ...
Samples taken were stored in a Stuart medium using Bijou bottles prepared sterile. After that, the samples were then streaked on 2 separate plates-blood agar and Mac Conkey. Subsequently,they were examined for the growth of microorganisms and the identification was made on the basis of colony ...
Semisolid media are made of less than 1% agar and that gives them their viscous and gelly-like nature that inevitably restricts the movement of any living and motile cell.Answer and Explanation: Viscous semisolid media are used for bacterial motility testing. If the color of the medium has...
Describe the different characteristics of cultures identified when agar plates, agar slants, and liquid medium are used. What type of bacteria are inhibited on ManConkey agar? A patient, suspected to have bacterial endocarditis, had two sets of ...
