Please match the statement to the term that it most accurately describes to test your understanding of the procedures used in handling, maintaining, and studying microorganisms. 1. process of adding a microbial sample to growth media which will support the growth of the desired microbe 2. process of exposing the microbe to the specific environmental conditions appropriate for growth 3. process of separating individual microbes and achieving colonies which are macroscopically distinguishable 4. process of observing microbes both macroscopically and microscopically 5. process of analyzing a microbe to examine its characteristics, including but not limited to its biochemical properties and genetic makeup 6. process of analyzing data previously collected to make a determination of the microbe(s) present in a sample Answer option- Isolation inspection identification information gathering inoculation incubation

Please match the test with its description to assess your understanding of the kinds of data collected during information gathering and your understanding of the processes involved in identifying microbes from samples. 1. using macroscopic and microscopic traits for identification 2. tests that determine chemical characteristics including enzyme production and nutritional requirements of the microbe 3. analyzing the genotype of an organism 4. tests the organism against known antibodies to determine if there is a reaction between the organism and the antibody DNA profiles biochemical tests appearance immunologic testing

Part A - Surveying microbial diversity In order to develop and refine water treatment systems, as well as other uses of microbes, it is often important to understand what microbes are present. To do this, researchers can use culture-dependent or culture-independent methods. Each of the statements below supports using one or the other of these methods. Place each statement into the bin for the approach that it supports. Drag choices to the correct bins. Prevents risk of missing an unusual species due to lack of appropriate PCR primers. Allows isolation of individual species, not a mixed species assemblage. Provides living microbes for further testing and analysis. Provides living microbes for further testing and analysis. Genetic analysis allows identification of genetic material regardless of growth requirements. Allows the detection of genetic fragments, not just genes from entire organisms. Not all microbes grow in one culture medium; knowing all species may be important. Culture-dependent methods Culture-independent methods

When studying the differences in the genes of bacteria, researchers: a. do not grow bacteria on a minimal medium as the medium lacks needed nutrients. b. use a bacterial clone, which is a group of cells from different bacteria of varying genetic makeup. c. use bacteria diploid for their full genome because they can grow on minimal medium. d. can study only one genetic trait in a single recombinant event. can measure the passage of genes between cells during conjugation, transduction, and transformation.
