|---|---|
| Define Microaeorphilic, and one organisms we studied that is microaerophilic | Organism that will not grow in an aerobic incubator on solid media and only minimally under anaerobic conditions. Grows on minimal oxygen (5% O2). Bacteroides gracilis. |
| Define Eh and what units of measurement is it in | Measure of the tendency of a system to give up electrons, expressed as millivolts |
| Define Laked Blood, and what antibiotics are usually added to laked blood? | "hemolyzed blood" - usually made by alternate freezing and thawing. Usually Kanomycin and Vancomycin are added to make it selective for anaerobic GNR. |
