What causes bacteria to have different morphologies? - Answers --Growth rate (size)

-Pigment production
-Cell wall composition/polysaccharide production
-Media composition
isolation of pure cultures - Answers -separating cells physically (streak plates) or by
dilution (spread and pour plates)
streak plate technique - Answers -A small amount of bacteria is spread over the surface

rod
-Pour: Diluted culture is pipetted into warm agar and stirred, then poured into a sterile
dish
