Colony Morphology Characteristics Another important characteristic of a bacterial colony is hemolysis. A colony is defined as a visible mass of microorganisms all originating from a single mother cell. For example, Bacillus atropheu s strain globigii Colony morphology is the visual culture characteristics of a bacterial colony on an agar plate. Describe features of colonies. Each bacteria has a special colony morphology on solid media. Dissecting microscope. Gross morphology includes colony shape, size, and surface features (Fig.). Appearance of the colony surface A. Colony Morphology Bacteria grow on solid media as colonies. Additionally, students perform Gram staining on cells of the isolated colonies to determine the Gram reaction, cell morphology, and cell size of the “unknown” bacteria Colony morphology can sometimes be useful in bacterial identification. See variations in colonial morphology among various species of bacteria. The commonly observed colonial characteristics are helpful in making a preliminary bacterial identification Colony form means the shape and can be circular, irregular, or rhizoid (branched). There are seven basic characteristics to identify bacterial colony morphologyIn the following week, students examine the colonies of the three “unknown” bacteria to determine colony morphology. Objectives. Size of the bacterial colony. Magnifying lens. It can be raised, flat, convex, concave or umbonate Colonies need to be well isolated from other colonies to observe the characteristic shape, size, color, surface appearance, and texture. Find common criteria that are used to characterize bacterial growth; Colony shape. Additionally, students perform Gram staining on cells of Naked eye. Colonies are described based on size, shape, texture, elevation, pigmentation, and effect on growth medium. Hemolysis is the result of the lysis of the blood cells that are a component of Blood Agar. Observing colony morphology is an important skill used in the microbiology In the following week, students examine the colonies of the three “unknown” bacteria to determine colony morphology. A colony is microscopic morphology to identify microbes. This is the cumulative (macroscopic) effect of the microscopic cellular shape and arrangement. Bacteria grow on solid media as colonies. Elevation refers to the cross sectional view or profile of the colony.
