Ahmad has prepared a seed culture containing recombinant Escherichia coli for the production of lipase enzyme. The seed culture was incubated for 18 hours before inoculating 5% of the seed culture into 2L of production media. a. Predict the consequences if the seed culture has been contaminated. b. Discuss whether the seed culture is meeting the criteria as inoculum or not.

A patient presents with sepsis from an E.coli bacteremia (bacteria growing in bloodstream). E. coli is a Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae. You perform antibiotic sensitivity tests using the Kirby Bauer disc diffusion technique. The diameter of the zone of Inhibition for Ampicillin is for the E. coli is 17 mm. Is the E.coli strain sensitive, intermediate or resistant to ampicillin at therapeutic levels? Zone of Inhibition Diameter Interpretive Chart in mm for Ampicillin Resistant Intermediate Sensitive Enterobacteriaceae 17 >29 Staphylococcus <28
A. Antibiotics, such as gentamicin, are used in media to prevent growth of susceptible microbes. Is gentamicin media a selective, differential or enrichment media? B. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that all Escherichia bacteria can normally ferment into an acidic waste compound. This acidic end product is detected by including a pH indicator in the agar and noticing a color change. The strain of Escherichia that is a common food pathogen, E. coli O157:H7, however can not ferment sorbitol. It will grow similar to other E. coli, but not change the agar color. Is sorbitol in nutrient agar a selective, differential or enrichment media?
