1. Microbial growth patterns on slant are great diagnostic value True or False 2. Agar slants are primarily used as a way to maintain microbial stock cultures. True of False 3. When performing an inoculation of a bacterium on a plate you must press you inoculating loop very hard against the solid medium. True of False 4. A microbial culture consisting of two or more species is called a _______________ culture, while a _______________ culture is one that contains a single species.

Bergey's Manual of Systems Bacteriology provides information on classifying bacteria according to rRNA. True False 3. A positive lipid hydrolysis test is indicated by the growth of bacteria on the medium. True False 4. In this activity, you will receive an "unknown" containing two species. The first step in identifying these bacteria is to __________. A) inoculate a glucose fermentation tube B) inoculate two TSA slants C) perform an acid-fast stain D) streak a TSA plate for isolation E) inoculate two OF-glucose tubes
