Question
Answer
show Sterility - prevent water condensation from the lid dropping onto the plate Contamination Prevention - Requires bacteria to go through agar to get to bottom of the plate  
🗑
Three types of media   show
🗑
show agar, nutrients, salt, and pH buffers and tags  
🗑
What is the streak method?   show
🗑
Pellicle Growth Pattern in Broth   show
🗑
Sediment Growth Pattern in Broth   show
🗑
show grows throughout entire broth aggressively; ocular density is high  
🗑
Flocculent Growth Pattern in Broth   show
🗑
Filiform Growth Pattern on a Slant   show
🗑
show Tree-like with thick center branch  
🗑
show Beaded down the middle  
🗑
show Spread out growth from the center  
🗑
show Branch off from thin center line  
🗑
show Spiny from thick center line  
🗑
Dilution Factor   show
🗑
show prior dilution factor x dilution of current container  
🗑
Standard CFU Formula   show
🗑
Range of Colony Count   show
🗑
show Plate Count Agar - provides total bacterial count  
🗑
show Eosin Methylene Blue - purple agar plate inhibits gram + bacterial growth that differentiates lactose fermenters from non-fermenters  
🗑
CNA   show
🗑
show Uses multiple dyes to help differentiate media  
🗑
When are Darkfield Microscopy used?   show
🗑
show Used for wet mounts mostly and to determine size/shape of colony  
🗑
show Specimen on a slide with no more than one dye to stain, i.e. crystal violet  
🗑
show Brightfield, Phase-Contrast, Darkfield  
🗑
Resulting color of a gram + bacteria   show
🗑
show red/pink because the cell wall is thin and does not hold the crystal violet dye after the decolorizer step where acetone-alcohol is used, because the lipopolysaccharide layer is dissolved releasing the dye. Example: E. Coli  
🗑
Which dye is used to reinforce crystal violet   show
🗑
show Some bacteria are gram variable, but most will lean gram +; decolorizing agent was used for too long; culture is too old  
🗑
Bacteria Counting Methods   show
🗑
Spectrophotometer (How it measures)   show
🗑
Chromogenesis   show
🗑
Measurements of Colony Morphology (Types)   show
🗑
show round, irregular, filamentous (branched from center into a circle), rhizoid (random branches), curled  
🗑
Types of Colony Edges   show
🗑
Types of Colony Elevation   show
🗑
Punctiform   show
🗑
show Degrades H2O2 within the cell into O2 and H20 (test will have bubbles if positive). Enzyme is usually seen in gram +, for example staphylococcus  
🗑
Catalase Test   show
🗑
show Differentiates between Pseudomonadaceae (+ result, blue/purple) and Enterobacteriaceae (- result). Helps identify species with O2 as the final electron receptor because the redox reagent (dimethyl or tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride)  
🗑
Restriction with Oxidase Test   show
🗑
show tests for salt resistance and mannitol sugar use. Phenol red determines sugar usage with acid as the by product. The acid lowers the pH causing a yellow color for + results. If the colony grows on the plate, then it is halophilic as well.  
🗑
Halophillic   show
🗑
show Plate with DNA and methyl green indicator in it to test for presence of deoxyribonuclease (an exoenzyme) that breaks down DNA. If a DNAse enzyme is present, a yellow zone will appear around the growth area indicating +  
🗑
show phenol red sugar broth (lactose, sucrose, glucose/dextrose, mannitol) or sugar discs on a plate  
🗑
show Sugar broth with a phenol red indicator that will turn yellow (+ result) in the presence of carbohydrate utilization with an acid byproduct. A durham tube is used to check for CO2 utilization  
🗑
Hanging Drop Mount (Purpose)   show
🗑
show no flagella/non-motile  
🗑
show movement caused by the bouncing of bacteria by the movement of the fluid they are suspended within  
🗑
show run is when the motile bacteria moves towards the nutrient source and tumble is when the bacteria moves/rolls away from the nutrient source/threat  
🗑
Monotrichous   show
🗑
Peritrichous   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
