MacConkey agar is often used to differentiate E. coli from other Gram-negative rods. The recipe for MacConkey agar is given in the table. Suppose you plated a mixed culture of Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Streptococcus pyogenes onto a MacConkey agar plate. Which species would grow, and how would they appear? Why would the others NOT grow?
Why is aseptic urine collection important when cultures are ordered? If you counted 20 colonies from a 0.01-ml inoculum of a 1:10 dilution of urine, how many organisms per milliliter of specimen would you report? Is this number significant? What can you learn from visual inspection of a urine specimen? How would you relate these to the microorganisms present in the sample? How are UTIs acquired/transmitted? Explain why E. coli is frequently implicated in cystitis in females.
A serial dilution of overnight E.coli culture was performed by pipetting 1ml of a bacterial culture into a 9 ml LB medium. After this, from 10-4 and 10-5 dilution tubes 100µl were plated onto LB agar plates. Upon overnight incubation at 37°C, 200 colonies were counted in 10-4 and 22 colonies were present on 10-5 plates.

You are doing a viable cell count for a culture of E. coli you are growing in a flask. The volume of media in the flask is 1L. You took an aliquot directly from the media and diluted it using trypan blue. Here are the numbers that you get: squares counted: 4 total cells counted: 988 total viable cells counted: 960 THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS: What is your cell viability? What is the total number of viable cells in your flask? Show all work. Given: Cell Viability = Viable Cells/Total Cells Cells/mL = Total Viable Cells/Coners Counted x 10,000 x Dilution factor
A culture of S. cerevisea has an overnight OD of 4.5 (1.0 OD is approx 1.0x107 cells/ml) You will be plating 100µl onto agar and want the final count of colonies on the plate to be around 300 colonies. How much of the 4.5 OD culture must you use to get a 500µl subdilution (with sterile water), so that you have diluted enough to get approx 300 colonies per 100ul
Bacillis brevis are lysed using a valve-type homogenizer. The extent of disruption depends on the applied pressure and the number of passes through the homogenizer chamber and can be described by the equation, ln(1 − ?) = −????. Is Bacillis brevis a gram-positive or gram-negative bacterial cell? Based on this response, describe the cell wall structure and how it differs from the other type. Develop an equation for calculation of pressure as a function of the number of passes through the homogenizer. What factor(s) did you take into consideration when selecting the number of passes? Escherichia coli cells are lysed with the same homogenization, is this organism gram-positive or gram-negative? What impact does increasing the value of the constant, a, have on the required number of passes at a given pressure? What factors impact the value of a? If fine cell debris after homogenization makes subsequent solid-liquid separation difficult, what would you recommend? Answer as…
