Isolated colonies of bacteria are the result of a single bacterium which has replicated many times and eventually formed a visable lump of genetically identical bacteria.
The colony's shape, texture and colour can somtimes be helpful in identifying the species of bacteria. For example collonies of Serratia marrceccens are typically pink, moist looking, round and small on nutrient agar.
I laymans terms isolated colonies are the single separated spots (normally semi-spherical like zits) on the plate after it has been incubated. If the bacteria are put on the plate too close together they will form a lawn which looks like the whole plate is covered evenly.

What strategies would allow you to determine if a bacterial colony had been infected with a lysogenic virus?
Gel electrophoresis to assess the size of the bacterial genome.
The appearance of a white bacterial colony most likely resulted from?
1. Mutation Castle Learning #SWAG
What do you mean by enumeration of bacteria?
Enumeration of bacteria is counting the number of viable bacterial cells present in 1g or 1ml of a sample. The bacterial counts are usually expressed in CFU/g or CFU/ml. CFU-Colony Forming Units.
Which statement best explains why no mold is growing in the white area next to the bacterial colony?
2. The bacteria may release a substance that prevents mold growth.
How can large quantities of protein be produced from a bacterial colony containing the gene of interest?
In Gene clonning copy no of gene increse and translation of each gene produce more no of protein so one can increas production of protein
What is the circumference of the colony of bacterial colony of 10 mm?
3.140
Who hypothesized that a bacterial colony arises from a single bacterial cell?
Robert Koch
A certain bacterial colony originated from the division of a single bacterial cell Each cell in this colony will most likely?
synthesize the same proteins and enzymes
In regards to bacterial growth define colony?
Each colony is a mass of bacterial clones, usually founded by one individual cell. So each colony represents one original microbe.
What causes the most genetic diversity in a bacterial colony?
The most common source of genetic diversity in a bacterial colony is a mutation. External DNA is assimilated by a cell is transformation.
What is bacterial colony?
A group or cluster of bacteria derived from one common bacteria.
How do you know if a colony is of bacterial or yeast origin?
Without microscope and only from morphology?
What strategies would allow you to determine if a bacterial colony had been infected with a lysogenic virus?
Gel electrophoresis to assess the size of the bacterial genome.
How would it hurt a bacterial colony's chance for survival if it were unable to perform conjugation?
The bacteria in the colony would be too genetically similar.
The bacteria in colony are unable to perform transduction. how would this hurt the bacterial colony's chance for survival?
The bacteria would generally be more similar
One colony typically develops from the growth of several parent bacterial cells?
false
What colony can be used for differentiation of bacterial species?
shape,colr, size, and texture, etc...
