MacConkey agar is a selective and differential culture medium for bacteria designed for isolation of Gram negative and usually enteric bacilli, based on their ability to ferment lactose. It contains bile salts, crystal violet, neutral red dye. There are many variations of MacConkey agar depending on the need. This medium was developed by Alfred Theodore MacConkey. This agar can distinguish gram negative bacterias that can ferment. This is known as the indicator medium.
The answer is; true
These microbes are usually adapted to their environment and this is why they are found in virtually all ecosystems. You will find bacteria even at the bottom of deep ocean beds deep and in geothermal vents, hypersaline water and very cold regions (such as polar regions). Fungi which vary widely in size from microscopically small to the largest organisms such as mushrooms are also found in virtually all environments on earth. They are nonetheless different species of these groups adapted to their environments.
Are examples of quantitative trait / polygenic inheritance.
A quantitative trait is a phenotype that can be measured and depends on the
cumulative actions of many genes and the environment.
These traits are very variable among individuals, there is a range of phenotypes with continuous
distribution. For examples: height, weight, shoe size and skin color.
