  2. Colonial morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_morphology

    Colonial morphology serves as the first step in the identification of microbial species from clinical samples. [10] Based on the visual appearance of the colonies, microbiologists can narrow down the list of possible organisms, allowing them to select appropriate tests to provide a definitive diagnosis.

  3. Winogradsky column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winogradsky_column

    This top layer of aerobic bacteria produces O 2 which feeds back into the column to facilitate further reactions. [1] While the Winogradsky column is an excellent tool to see whole communities of bacteria, it does not allow one to see the densities or individual bacterial colonies. It also takes a long time to complete its cycle.

  4. Colony-forming unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony-forming_unit

    In microbiology, a colony-forming unit (CFU, cfu or Cfu) is a unit which estimates the number of microbial cells (bacteria, fungi, viruses etc.) in a sample that are viable, able to multiply via binary fission under the controlled conditions. Counting with colony-forming units requires culturing the microbes and counts only viable cells, in ...

  5. Plate count agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_count_agar

    The total number of living aerobic bacteria can be determined using a plate count agar which is a substrate for bacteria to grow on. The medium contains casein which provides nitrogen, carbon, amino acids, vitamins and minerals to aid in the growth of the organism. Yeast extract is the source for vitamins, particularly of B-group. Glucose is ...

  6. Bacillus licheniformis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_licheniformis

    Colonies tend to be cream-colored, but will turn red in the presence of iron in media, most likely as a result of pulcherrimin. [6] [9] B. licheniformis is found in a wide variety of environments, but especially in soil and in the feathers of birds, where B. licheniformis degrades β-keratin.

  7. Isolation (microbiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_(microbiology)

    To enumerate the growth, bacteria can be suspended in molten agar before it becomes solid, and then poured into petri dishes, the so-called 'pour plate method' which is used in environmental microbiology and food microbiology (e.g. dairy testing) to establish the so-called 'aerobic plate count'.

  8. Growth medium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_medium

    An agar plate – an example of a bacterial growth medium*: Specifically, it is a streak plate; the orange lines and dots are formed by bacterial colonies.. A growth medium or culture medium is a solid, liquid, or semi-solid designed to support the growth of a population of microorganisms or cells via the process of cell proliferation [1] or small plants like the moss Physcomitrella patens. [2]

  9. Acinetobacter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acinetobacter

    Initially, identification was based on phenotypic characteristics such as growth temperature, colony morphology, growth medium, carbon sources, gelatin hydrolysis, glucose fermentation, among others. This method allowed identification of A. calcoaceticus–A. baumannii complex by the formation of smooth, rounded, mucoid colonies at 37 °C.
