Answers All Correct
What does a broth being turbid represent? - Answer-bacterial growth within broth

Why would you incubate the TSB inoculated with normal flora at 37 degrees? (37
degrees Celsius is equal to 98.6 Fahrenheit) - Answer-37 degrees Celsius is the
temperature of human body, therefore this mimics normal conditions for the normal flora

Why do invert a plate before incubating it? - Answer-so no condensation from lid drops
into bacteria in the hot environment of the incubator

Where do you write your name and section number on the plate? why? - Answer-on the
bottom so that the plate can still be identified even if it is separated from the lid

Why is broth not used as an isolation medium? - Answer-the different types of bacteria
that grew cannot be separated or identified

Would you use a TSA slant as an isolation medium? - Answer-no, the slant does not
allow enough surface area for growth or enough access

Why is it important that the TSA slant be inoculated with a pure bacterial culture, instead
of a mixed culture? - Answer-pure bacterial cultures must be used in order to properly
identify the identity of the bacteria in the sample

2: mordant- grams iodine (binds to crystal violet, still purple)
3: decolorizer- alcohol/acetone mixture (removed iodine from gram negative, gram + is
purple, gram - is colorless)
4: counterstain - safranin (turns gram - cells pink)

acid-fast staining procedure - Answer-1: primary stain - carbon fuchsin + heat (all cells
hot pink/red)
2: decolorized- acid alcohol mix (acid-fast + are pink, acid-fast - are colorless)
3: secondary stain - methylene blue (acid-fast - are blue)

endospores stain what color - Answer-green

vegetative cells stain what color - Answer-pink

, acid-fast + appear what color - Answer-pink/red

acid-fast - appear what color - Answer-blue

endospore staining procedure - Answer-1: primary stain - malachite green + heat (all
green at this point)
2: decolorizer - water (washes off excess stain out of vegetative cells, endospores =
green, vegetative cell = colorless)
3: secondary stain - safranin (endospores = green, vegetative cells = pink)

why do gram positive cells stain purple, and gram negative cells stain pink? - Answer-
gram + cells stain purple because they have a thick peptidoglycan layer that is too thick
for the decolorizer to remove the grams iodine, whereas gram - cells have a thin ppg
that allow for the removal of the mordant and for them to stain pink
