26. When the Quadrant Streak Plate method is used to isolate a pure culture from a mixed culture, you would expect isolated colonies to be in which quadrant of the plate? A) Quadrant A B) Quadrant B C) Quadrant C D) Quadrant D 27. One difference between the Plate count method and the Spread Plate method of bacterial enumeration is that for the ______ method colonies grow only on the surface of the agar A) Pour Plate B) Spread Plate C) Both A and B D) Neither A or B 28. When recording microbial counts TNTC means: A) Too Numerous To Culture B) Two Numerous two Count C) Too Many to Count D) Too Numerous to Count 29. In the Standard Plate Count method, a countable plate is one that has between ______ colonies. A 25 and 300 B 3000 and 300 C 30 and 300 D 3 and 30 E 100 and 10 30. Two dilution blank volumes used in a Microbiology lab are A 10 and 100 mls B 9 and 99 mls C 90 and 99 mls D None of the above E b and c, but not a

When using the Quadrant Streak Plate method, the goal is to isolate a pure culture from a mixed culture. This means that each isolated colony should come from a single bacterial cell. Therefore, you would expect isolated colonies to be in Quadrant A, as this is Show more…

The number of single colonies on a correctly-prepared agar plate can be used to estimate the concentration of viable cells in a broth culture because: (Multiple Choice) A. The plate was inoculated with a known volume of culture. B. Each colony contains only viable cells. C. Each colony arises from a single viable cell. A and B A and C

Streak Plate Isolation for Obtaining Pure Cultures Data Interpretation Please type the answers to the following questions below (double spaced) and attach the data collection sheets when you hand in this lab report. 1. When an agar plate is inoculated, why is the loop sterilized after the initial inoculation is put on? 2. Define pure culture, a mixed culture? 3. Define a bacterial colony. List four characteristics by which bacterial colonies may be distinguished? 4. Why should a Petri dish not be left open for any extended period of time? 5. Why does the streaking method you used to inoculate your plates result in isolated colonies? 6. Why is it necessary to isolate individual colonies from a mixed growth? 7. Why was blood agar, rather than a nutrient agar plate used for the culture from your mouth? 8. Are a large number of microorganisms found in the mouth a cause for concern? Explain. 9. How do microorganisms find their way into the mouth?
