Question 1

a microbial culture consisting of two or more species

Answer 1

mixed culture

Question 2

a microbial culture consisting of two or more species

Answer 2

mixed culture

Question 3

a microbial culture consisting of two or more species

Answer 3

mixed culture

Question 4

contains only a single species

Answer 4

pure culture

Question 5

a commonly used isolation technique where a bacterial sample is streaked over the surface of a plated agar medium. Designed to separate deposited cells (CFU’s) on the agar surface so individual cells (CFU’s) grow into isolated colonies. Generally used with samples suspected of high cell intensity.

Answer 5

quadrant streak plate

Question 6

the cell or group of cells that produces a colony when transferred to plated media

Answer 6

colony-forming unit (CFU)

Question 7

growth that is dense(tightly packed & thick) and opaque(not shiny) with a smooth edge

Answer 7

filiform

Question 8

color

Answer 8

pigmented

Question 9

crusty

Answer 9

friable

Question 10

membrane growth on top(surface)

Answer 10

pellicle

Question 11

growth on the bottom (could be flocculent that have settled because test tubes have been sitting)

Answer 11

sediment

Question 12

suspended chunks

Answer 12

flocculent

Question 13

What is the purpose of a four-quadrant streak?

Answer 13

To separate colonies

Question 14

How does one bacterial cell relate to a bacterial colony?

Answer 14

When a single bacterial cell is deposited on a solid nutrient medium, it begins to divide. One cell makes two, two make four, four make eight and so on… Eventually a visible mass of cells - a colony - appears where the original cell was deposited.

Question 15

contains only a single species

Answer 15

pure culture

Question 16

Question 20

crusty

Answer 20

Answer 28

colony-forming unit (CFU)

Question 29
