1. Table 1 lists a typical recipe for growing bacteria in the lab. A researcher discovered a
potentially new species of bacterium from a soil sample and attempted to grow it in this
media. Unfortunately, the bacterium did not grow. Identify at least three components that
you suggest adding to the medium to enable growth. Provide a reason for adding each
component.

- (c) Public health scientists wanted to investigate the effect of ionising radiation on the growth of Salmonella typhimurium in the presence of antibiotics. They grew bacterial colonies of Salmonella typhimurium in petri dishes labelled A, B and C. The Petri dishes were kept at 36°C for 48 hours, with scientists observing the bacteria every 24 hours. The results for this investigation are below. Petri dish A B с Treatment Was subjected to ionising radiation followed immediately by a dose of antibiotic X An equal amount of antibiotic X was added (as was added to Petri dish A) Was given neither ionising radiation nor antibiotic X After 24 hours Small spots of growth on surface No growth Growth across whole surface After 48 hours (ii) Identify the purpose of petri dish C.
