The method of inoculating in quadrants to thin the quantity of microbes is the
streak plate method.
The complete rupture of red blood cells is measured as
beta-hemolysis.
Oil immersion prevents light
refraction.
Isolation requires _____ to form individual colonies.
solid media
Media where all components are known is
chemically defined (synthetic).
The incomplete rupture of red blood cells is
alpha-hemolysis.
Media that is comprised of unknown composition is
complex.
Phenotypic, genotypic and immunologic tests are all part of the ____ step.
identification
The three components of microscopy are
magnification, resolution and contrast.
To measure motility, you must use
semisolid media.
The cultivation or growth of organisms is
culturing.
The growth of microorganisms under ideal conditions is
incubation.
A discrete mound of one species of cell on a solid surface is a
colony.
Magnification with a light microscopy is done with the ocular and objective
lenses.
Specimen collection must be done using
sterile technique.
Using a small amount of specimen for growth is
inoculation.
Media that allows all species to grow but they appear uniquely is
differential.
Gram and acid-fast are examples of
differential stains.
Media that allows one species to grow but prohibits the growth of others is
selective.
Microbial food is
media (medium).
Broths, milks, and infusions are examples of
liquid media.
Using a glass "hockey stick" to distribute microbes on a plate is the
spread plate method.
