Order the steps correctly for transferring culture from an agar slant to a sterile slant. Remove loop - flame tube opening - replace cap Remove cap with little finger do not put cap down Touch loop to top of medium where there is growth and pick up a small amount Pick up sterile slant - open cap with one hand - insert loop Sterile loop Label sterile slant with name - date - medium - organism Flame the loop Move loop in a zig zag motion from bottom to top of medium in slant Flame the tubes opening and insert loop Withdraw loop - flame tube top - replace cap

Incorrect Answer: Put the steps of inoculating an agar deep in order: remove the cap from the agar deep tube, keeping the tube tilted at an angle, obtain bacterial growth with an inoculating needle, insert the inoculating needle into the agar, stabbing nearly to the bottom of the agar deep, remove the needle from the agar, replace the cap on the agar deep and incubate Answers: remove the cap from the agar deep tube, keeping the tube tilted at an angle remove the needle from the agar insert the inoculating needle into the agar, stabbing nearly to the bottom of the agar deep obtain bacterial growth with an inoculating needle replace the cap on the agar deep and incubate

You must inoculate one nutrient broth tube and two agar plates from an organism on an agar slant. Answer the following questions assuming you have completed the inoculations. Write the number on the line. A. What is the minimum number of times you needed to correctly flame the open end of a tube? The answer is the sum for all tubes, NOT per tube. B. What is the minimum number of times you needed to flame your inoculating loop? Again, the answer is the sum for the entire procedure. C. What is the minimum number of times you needed to set a tube's cap on the laboratory bench? And again, the answer is the sum for the entire procedure.

A microbiology instructor prepares cultures for a gram-staining practical laboratory by inoculating growth medium with a gram-positive coccus (nonmotile) and a gram-negative rod (motile). The goal is to demonstrate staining of a mixed culture. The flask is incubated at $35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ for 24 hours without aeration. A sample is stained and reveals only gram-negative rods. Both cultures are known facultative anaerobes. Give a likely reason for success of the gram-negative rod. Assume that the cultures have comparable intrinsic growth rates.
