Which bacterial shape is shown as long cylindrical rods in biological water analysis?
Coccus
Spirilla
Bacillus
Vibrio
Bacteria that cause diseases in humans are termed:
Non-pathogens
Aerobic organisms
Pathogens
Facultative organisms
In membrane filter technique, final bacterial count is expressed as:
TCU
NTU
CFU
MPN
Which is NOT an advantage of the membrane filter technique?
High accuracy
Results available in short time
Less preparation required
Requires heavy laboratory setup
The presumptive coliform test uses:
EMB agar
Lactose broth
Nutrient broth
BGLB broth
According to IS 1622–1981, MPN values depend on:
TDS concentration
Combination of positive tubes in different dilutions
pH and alkalinity
Only 10-ml sample results
In Thomas equation for MPN, the denominator includes:
Sum of volumes of positive tubes
Square root of product of volumes in negative tubes and all tubes
Product of positive tube volumes only
Product of total sample size and dilution factor
Anaerobic bacteria require oxygen for their growth.
True
False
Coliform index is defined as the reciprocal of the smallest positive sample.
True
False
Coccus, bacillus, and spirilla differ mainly in their (a) .
Each bacterium is assumed to grow into a single visible (a) after incubation.
What is the MPN test also known as?
presumptive
confirmatory
completed
selective
Which equation is used to calculate MPN when tables are not available?
(a)
The confirmed test for coliform bacteria uses which broth?
(a)
MPN value increases when the number of ————-tubes is high
(a)
