BIOL 2300 Chapter Notes - Chapter 4 : Micrococcus Luteus, Streptococcus, Primary Metabolite
Document Summary
4. 1 ma: because it is practical, nor particularly meaningful, to determine the size of the cell in a given population, microbial growth is defined as the increase in the number of cells in a population, not important. 4. 2 ma: the biofilms cause the slime, a, the structure of the biofilms shields the microbes growing inside of it making them more resistant to harmful chemicals. The streak-plate method is the simplest and most commonly used technique for isolating prokaryotes. Stock culture: a culture stored for use as inoculum in later procedures. Ma 4. 3: very few microbes can degrade agar, the third set of streaks, cells should be separated enough so that distinct. Batch cultures: when bacteria is grown on agar plates or in tubes or flasks of broth; are closed systems. As cells grow in batch cultures the population increases in a distinct pattern of stages.
