Why is the top part of a broth or slant culture heated in a flame immediately after removing the cap? a. to kill all the bacteria on the glass b. to sterilize the glass in case you touch it with your loop c. to stimulate the growth of bacteria in the tube d. to create warm air currents that keep other bacteria out e. to expand the glass of the test tube top so that the cap will fit more securely

A glass flask is rinsed and autoclaved after use. It was then filled with sterile media in a sterile environment and covered. A few days, microbial growth appears in the flask. Assume the media and sterile environment is guaranteed to be sterile. What most likely caused the growth in the flask? a. The flask has to be rinsed with bleach before autoclaving b. A portion of the flask was not exposed to the steam c. Autoclaves only sanitize equipment, so you cannot expect the flask to be sterile d. Autoclaving inhibits growth, but does not kill microbes

A microbiology student was given a mixed culture of two different gram positive bacteria species to grow into a culture medium using correct aseptic techniques. After two days,one gram positive bacterial species grew on the media and the growth appeared red on the surface of the medium.

What is the possible explanation for the differences in the color of the bacterial growth? A. the culture was contaminated B. the microbiologist put too much inoculum on the culture medium C. the medium was a selective medium D. the medium was differential
