Microbial Growth

The development of microbial growth is influenced by various natural conditions (both physical and synthetic) like pH, temperature, saltiness, gas focus (O2, CO2, and H2), nutrients, water action, and assimilation. Knowing the distinctive physical and chemical factors that influence the development and endurance of microbial growth in the climate will assist with reinforcing endeavors outfitted towards their control. These lines lessen or diminish their harmful impacts on humankind, creatures, and the climate.

Special Media for Isolating Bacteria OBJECTIVES Because multiple methods and multiple media exist, you must be able to match the correct procedure to the desired microbe. For example, if bacterium B is salt-tolerant, a high concentration (>5%) of salt could be added to the culture medium. Physical conditions can also be used to select for a bacterium. If bacteri- After completing this exercise, you should be able to: 1. Differentiate selective from differential media. 2. Provide an application for enrichment and selec- tive media. um B is heat-resistant, the specimen could be heated before isolation. Dyes such as phenol red, eosin, or methylene blue are sometimes ineluded in differential BACKGROUND media.
