Which Of The Bacterial Mixtures(S) Grow As A Biofilm?

which mixtures of bacterial species can form biofilms. To determine this, you perform a bacterial growth study looking at the number of viable bacteria cells remaining after treatment with penicillin (an antibiotic). You know that all your mixtures of bacteria are susceptible to penicillin when they do not grow as a biofilm. You include a control mixture in your study that you know does not form biofilms. Three different experimental mixtures (Groups 1, 2, and 3) and your control were grown at the same density of cells (12,000 cells per dish). You treat all groups with the same dose of penicillin for 10 hours. You count the number of viable cells 6 hours and 48 hours after the treatment ends. The graph below shows the data from this experiment. Graph depicting average number of cells (10^3 cfu/mL) on the x-axis over time on the y-axis of Control and three variable groups. Sharp decline of all groups until hour 6, then steady decline of Control, Group 1, and Group 3 until hour 48, and steady incline of Group 2 until hour 48.

About the flashcard:

This flashcard is meant to be used for studying, quizzing and learning new information. Many scouting web questions are common questions that are typically seen in the classroom, for homework or on quizzes and tests. Flashcards vary depending on the topic, questions and age group. The cards are meant to be seen as a digital flashcard as they appear double sided, or rather hide the answer giving you the opportunity to think about the question at hand and answer it in your head or on a sheet before revealing the correct answer to yourself or studying partner. Some questions will include multiple choice options to show you the options involved and other questions will just have the questions and corrects answers. Simply reveal the answer when you are ready to check your work. Absolutely no cheating is acceptable.
