1. Enterococcus and coliforms can enter the water through feces. Although a water sample is negative for these bacteria, it could still be infected by pathogens from other sources than feces.
2. Culture media are sterilized by filtration because they could contain antibiotics or serum which deteriorate upon heat. Filtration is used in sanitation to remove large particles.
3. In the membrane filter technique, it is assumed that <span>all viable bacteria will form colonies. This means that formed colonies develop from the viable bacteria so that the number of colonies suggests the number of bacteria.
4. E. coli is negative for Citrate and Voges-Proskauer tests, and is positive for Indole and Methyl red tests.
5. The answer is yes because eo</span><span>sin-methylene blue agar is inhibitory to Gram+ bacteria.</span>

The dorsal side<span> of the </span>leopard frog<span>: a. Is a light, solid colour b. Is a coloured and patterned. Is initially cut during a dissection</span>
Phagocytosis is the process by which immune cells engulf and then destroy bacteria
An isolated colony on a selective medium is not considered a pure culture because inhibited organisms might be masked by the colonies. This statement is true.
On the basis of their constitution or usage, culture media can be classified into various groups; these include defined, complex, selective, as well as enrichment medium.
A selective medium consists of dyes or noxious substances/chemicals which inhibit the growth of specific microorganisms but promote the growth of other microbes.
A pure culture is a laboratory culture which contains a single species of microorganism. It is free from other microorganisms.
Since selective media affects the growth of distinct organisms differently, therefore, an isolated colony formed in such type of medium is not considered a pure culture.
