Ans.E.coli:-The growth pattern of murein-sacculus which determine the shape of the Escherichial coli cell was studied by the use of high-resolution autoradiography with the electro microscope.the murein was pulse labelled with H-labelled diaminopimelic acid as a specific murein precursor and sacculi werw prepared immediateli.

B subtilis:-A Bascillus subtilis strain showed a variety of colony growth paterns on agar plates. the bacterium grew to afractal colony thought the diffusion limites aggregation process a round colony reminiscent of eden model,a colony with a stright amd densely branched structure similar to the dence branching,morphlogy,a colony spreading without any openings.the patterns of these bacterial colonies were thought to grow in relation to the diffusion nutrient in the agar plate.

S epidermis:-Staphylococcus epidermidis is a gram positive bacterium and one of over 40 species belonging to the genus staphylococcus.it is part of normal human flora.typically the skin flora and less commonly the mucosal flora.it is an facultative anaerobic bacteria.although s. epidermidisi is not usually pathogenic patients with compromised immune are generally hospital-acquired.s. epidermidis is a particular because it is known to form biofilms that grows on these divices.being part of normal skin flora s. epidermidis is a frequent contaminant of specimens sent to the diagnostic laboratory.

B.cereus in broth:-Bacillum cereus is a gram positive aerobic or facultatively anaerobic that is widely distributed environmentally.while B.cereus is associated mainly with food poisoning .the pathogenicity of B.cereus,whether intestinal or nonintestinal,is intimately associated with the production of tissue-destructive exoenzymes.the major hurdle in evaluation B. cereus when isolate from a clinical specimen is overcoming its stgma as an insignificatnt contaminant.

E. coli was inoculated into the Nutrient broth. It entered the algebraic proliferator within two hours of incubation, and entered a period of suspension from 20 hours of incubation. The cells in the incubation period of 4 hours and 8 hours were 106 cells/ml and 1012 cells/ml, respectively What is E. coli's specific growth rate and generation time?

Consider an LB broth flask into which two E. coli strains are inoculated. Strain "A" is wild-type, with g = 22 min at 37oC, and 45 min at 27oC. Strain "B" has a temperature-sensitive mutation, such that g = 52 min at 37oC, but at 27oC g = 44 min.We inoculate equal amounts of cells (1 ml of each starter culture whose population is 1 x 106 cfu/ml) into each of two separate 1 liter volumes of LB broth at...

Q5. You have two broth samples, one of E. coli and one of endospores from Bacillus. Both samples are placed on the surface of TSA plates with a sterile swab to obtain complete coverage on the surface of the plate. The lid of the plate is removed to expose one side of each plate to UV light for 3 minutes. The plates are incubated for 24 hours at 37oC. After 24 hours at 37oC, which plate would you expect to...

Researchers grew populations of identical Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria in a growth medium that contained a low concentration of glucose and a high concentration of citrate, a substance that is not typically consumed by E. coli. For thousands of generations, the bacteria used only glucose as an energy source and grew relatively slowly (and to a low density because of the low concentration of glucose). After about 30,000 generations, one population emerged that began to rapidly grow to a...
