Media: Anaerobic Blood Agar is the best media choice for growing obligate anaerobes. Fresh prepared Nutrient Agar, Tryptic Soy Agar (Soybean Casein Digest Agar), and Standard Methods Agar (Plate Count Agar) are appropriate alternatives for some Clostridium species with an additional period (24 hours) of incubation.
Q. Which kind of organisms can grow aerobically on slants?
The kind of organisms able to grow aerobically on slants or at the top of thioglycollate tubes are called facultative anaerobes and obligate aerobes. Facultative anaerobes are able to function with or without oxygen. In the presence of oxygen, they are able to produce ATP through aerobic respiration.

Q. What is the purpose of the slanted surface in an agar slant?
Slanting the surface of the agar gives the bacteria a greater surface area on which to grow in a test tube. Furthermore, slants are created in test tubes that can be capped, which minimizes water loss. This is important because of the high moisture content of agar media.
Q. What is the purpose of the slanted surface in an agar slant quizlet?
What is the purpose of the slanted surface in an agar slant? you are conducting a transfer between a slanted culture and a sterile slant. When should you use the flame of the Bunsen Burner. – to heat the loop/needle right before obtaining sample from slant culture.
Q. Would you expect an obligate anaerobe to grow on a slant or or plate incubated aerobically?
would you expect an obligate anaerobe to grow on a slant incubates aerobically? No; oxygen inhibits the growth of obligate anaerobes.
Q. What is good microbiological techniques?
Good Microbiological Practice (GMP) consists of aseptic techniques and other good microbiological practices that are not uniformly defined but are necessary to prevent contamination of the laboratory with the agents being handled and contamination of the work with agents from the environment.
Q. What are the standard microbiological practices?
Standard microbiological practices (SMPs) are generally defined as the basic “hygiene” practices that apply to all labs that manipulate microorganisms or any biological materials that contain microorganisms.
Q. What are the 4 biosafety levels?
The four biosafety levels are BSL-1, BSL-2, BSL-3, and BSL-4, with BSL-4 being the highest (maximum) level of containment. There are additional specific rules and designations for animal research (ABSL), agricultural research (BSL-Ag), and other types of research.
Q. What is a Biosafety Level 2 laboratory?
BSL-2 laboratories are used to study moderate-risk infectious agents or toxins that pose a moderate danger if accidentally inhaled, swallowed, or exposed to the skin. Design requirements for BSL-2 laboratories include hand washing sinks, eye washing stations, and doors that close and lock automatically.
Q. What are the three fundamental skills needed in a microbiology lab?
Microbiology Lab Skills Checkoff List
- Aseptic technique.
- Single colony isolation.
- Simple (Positive) Stain.
- Negative Stain.
- Gram Stain with controls.
- Differential/Special Stain (Acid Fast or Endospore Stain)
Q. What are the skills of microbiologist?
Lab experience is required for aspiring microbiologists; postdoctoral research work may be required for advanced research positions. Basic skills include interpersonal, analytical, mathematical, speaking and writing expertise, and further being detail-oriented.
Q. What lab techniques do you learn in microbiology?
It includes preparing stained smears, culturing micro-organisms, conducting immunology experiments, performing tests to identify bacteria and fungi, and studying microbial growth control methods.
Q. WHAT A levels do you need for Microbiology?
To get onto a degree in microbiology you will usually need five GCSEs (A-C), including science, English and maths, as well as at least two A levels, including biology and preferably chemistry. Check with course providers because alternative qualifications may also be accepted.
Q. What is the job description of a microbiologist?
Microbiologists typically do the following: Plan and conduct complex research projects, such as improving sterilization procedures or developing new drugs to combat infectious diseases. Perform laboratory experiments that are used in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses.
Q. What does a microbiologist do on a daily basis?
On a daily basis, Microbiologists supervise biological technologists and technicians and other scientists. They investigate the relationship between organisms and disease, including the control of epidemics and the effects of antibiotics on microorganisms.
Q. How many days do microbiologists work?
Microbiologists perform most of their work in comfortable laboratories and offices. They normally work a 40-hour workweek; however, some employers may require overtime and occasional weekend work. Microbiologists are generally not exposed to unsafe or unhealthy conditions.
