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.

They add nitrogen to the soul through their nodules !
For questions 11-15
11. Magnesium Oxide is a combination between Magnesium and oxygen so the formula will be MgO
12. Calcium Chloride is a combination between Calcium and Chlorine, so the formula will be CaCl₂ the ₂ comes from the fact that there is two Chlorine atoms
13. Lithium Sulfide is a combination between Two lithium and a sulfur atoms,
so the formula will be Li₂S The ₂ coming from the two lithium atoms
14. Barium Selenide is a combination between Barium and Selenium so the formula will be BaSe
15. Aluminum Oxide is a combination between Aluminum and Oxygen, there are two Aluminum atoms and three Oxygen atoms, so it will make Al₂O₃
Hope this helps
