Answer:

Disulfide linkage/bond

Explanation:

The tertiary and quarternary structure of the protein is stabilized by Disulfide linkage which is formed between two thiol groups in the protein. 2-mercaptoethanol is a reducing agent that breaks this disulfide bond.  

A protein becomes denature when it loses its native configuration and becomes inactive. So as 2-mercaptoethanol breaks disulfide bond in protein it looses its native configuration and becomes denatured. 2-mercaptoethanol  is used in SDS-PAGE to separate protein subunits. Therefore the correct answer is Disulfide linkage/bond.

Should you see signs of microbial growth in a sterile medium if you allow it to incubate for several days
frozen [14]

No, even after several days of incubation, you shouldn't detect any symptoms of microbial growth in a sterile medium.

<h3>What is the microbial growth in the sterile medium?</h3>

The deliberate introduction of germs into a sterile growing medium is known as immunization. When there are no living creatures present, a substance is sterile; undesirable bacteria are said to be contaminated. The use of aseptic procedures helps keep growing media from being contaminated. Reduce the amount of time that cultures and growth media are exposed to the outside world. Clean the work area both before and after each use. Avoid breathing or touching the stock cultures or sterile culture media. Before used, loops, needles, pipes, and other items should be sanitized. The tube caps should be held in your hand while inoculating and not placed on the table while using tubes.
