Which of the following is an endospore producer?
Bacillus subtilis
This staining procedure will only allow you to see the cells and determine the cellular morphology
Simple Stain
What color are the Gram negative cells at the end of the Gram Staining Procedure?
Red
What was used as a mordant in the Gram Stain?
Iodine
Which of the following organisms would be acid fast?
Mycobacterium
Nocardia
Corynebacterium
All of these
Which staining procedure requires the use of Methanol fixation?
Capsular Stain
This procedure must be performed to stain cells that possess mycolic acid in the cell wall.
Acid Fast Stain
Which portion of a dye imparts color?
Chromophore
This staining procedure uses a mordant to enlarge an extracellular structure and make it visible
Flagellar Stain
This staining procedure breaks bacteria into 2 large groups based on the structure of the cell wall.
Gram Stain
This slide prep may be used as an indirect method of observing for motility.
Hanging Drop Slide
Which type of fixation was used in the Gram Stain?
Heat
What structures were green at the end of the endospore stain?
spore
In this staining procedure the cell repels the stain and the background is stained instead.
Negative Stain
This slide prep is ideal for viewing natural, unstained specimens (ex. pond water)
Wet Mount
Inoculation
the transfer and implantation of microbes or infectious material into culture media, or the artificial introduction of a biologic product or pathogenic agent into the body
Culture
the growth of microbes on nutrient medium, or to grow microbes on a nutrient medium
Pure culture
is a culture containing only one species of microbe
Contaminant
is any undesirable microbe that is associated with a culture or other material
Culture Medium
the prepared food material on which microorganisms are grown (cultured)
Colony
a dissociated macroscopic aggregation of a single species of microorganism growing on solid nutrient media.
Aseptic technique
any procedure used in the handling, maintenance, or transfer of microbes that insures the absence of contaminating or infectious microbes
Incubation
is the growth and/or maintenance of microbial cultures in controlled acceptable to optimum conditions.
Incubator
a cabinet used for the incubation of microbes in which the temperature is controlled
Multiple Effect
the total amount of any given substance passed into the environment, by all the cells of a pure culture.
