The presence of the minute growth near the disc signifies that the bacterial innoculum contains mutant microorganisms that are able to grow in the presence of toxic substances.

<h3>What are zones of inhibition?</h3>

The sensitivity testing in a microbiology laboratory is done to determine the effect of antibiotics on various bacteria organisms

The zone of inhibition when a disk method is used signifies the area of media where bacteria are unable to grow, due to presence of a drug that impedes their growth.

If there are presence of minute growth near the disc, it means that the bacterial innoculum contains mutant microorganisms that are able to grow in the presence of toxic substances such as disinfectants.

If these mutant bacteria organisms are not cleared by the disk method, it means that they cannot be killed by the disinfectant/antiseptics that is being tested.

Milk is converted to yogurt under certain conditions when the microorganisms in the milk produce acid. Which of these processes
oee [108]

Milk is converted to yogurt under certain conditions when the microorganisms in the milk produce acid. Which of these processes would you expect to be key in the production of yogurt?

a. Photosynthesis

b. Lactic acid fermentation

c. Krebs cycle

d. Alcoholic fermentation

Answer:

b. Lactic acid fermentation

Explanation:

Lactic acid fermentation occurs when pyruvate formed by glycolysis is reduced into lactate under the anaerobic conditions. The NADH serves as an electron donor for the reduction of pyruvate into lactic acid. Lactic acid bacteria are the anaerobic bacteria that ferment the milk sugar lactose into lactic acid. This converts the milk into yogurt. <em>Lactobacillus, Streptococcus salivarius</em>, etc. are mostly responsible for the conversion of milk into yogurt.
