Culturing microorganisms - Study guides, Revision notes & Summaries

Student Name: Ashley Anderson. Access Code (located on the underside of the lid of your lab kit): AC-VRIKUTP. Pre-Lab Questions 1. What is the difference between chemically defined and chemically complex media? Give either a clinical or environmental research example for which each media type would be the most appropriate choice for culturing microorganisms. Chemically defined media is media where the exact chemical compositions are known and made with purified ingredients. This type of...

5 I's for culturing microorganisms - inoculation incubation isolation inspection identification For inoculation and incubation you need these 2 things - a source of microbes for inoculation and a growth medium to inocculate Growth mediums can come in these forms: - solid, semi-solid, liquid Defined v. complex medium - A chemically defined media is one in which the exact chemical composition is known while a complex medium is one in which the exact chemical composition varies slight...

1. What is the difference between chemically defined and chemically complex media? Give either a clinical or environmental research example for which each media type would be the most appropriate choice for culturing microorganisms. The key difference between chemically defined and chemically complex media are their compositions. Chemically defined media is made up of all known compositions. While, chemically complex media is made up of unknown compositions (which can vary from batch to bat...

Lab Report Format Expectations Utilize college level grammar and professional formatting when completing this worksheet. Submissions without proper formatting, all required photos or sufficient responses will be rejected. Pre-lab Questions 1. This lab includes two experiments that each look at different aspects of culturing microorganisms onto growth media. What concepts does each experiment focus on?

Required Resources Read/review the following resources for this activity: • Textbook: Chapters 7, 8 • Weekly Concepts Initial Post Instructions Class, let’s discuss the categories that organisms can be grouped in based on their nutritional requirements. Find one microorganism, either a prokaryote or eukaryote, and describe the environment in which it lives. (Does it live underwater? On skin? In soil? Give as many details as possible!) To complete your initial post, you will then use...
