What colony shapes and colony surface characteristics? |
Shape- irregular Margins- smooth Surface-contoured |
|
Based on your observations comment on the reliability of colony morphology in the identification of a bacterial species? |
It is not as reliable as a molecular morphology, since with this microscope they will all look very similar. If we use sequencing we could accurately identify a species |
|
Characteristics of the bacterial colony of E coli |
The size of a pen tip the shape is round and irregular the margin is smooth surface contoured pigment yellow |
|
Characteristics of bacterial colonies of serratia marcescens |
Pantip shaped irregular margin curved surface contoured pigment red |
|

What is the relationship among plaque Dental cavities and gum disease? |
Bacteria form about the Monteith they eat Decay both enamel causing cavities in your mouth if you keep bacteria out of your mouth it will be less likely to cause damage teeth and gums |
|
Discuss differences in proportion of each type of bacteria in the bacterial community of plaque |
A community of plaque may include more than one species of bacteria each type of bacteria May range in size and it could be due to its diet and function |
|
Hypothesize about the presence of bacteria and fungi in different environments |
If they're in a warm and wet environment it will grow at a higher rate |
