EQUIPMENTS FOR MICROBIAL CULTURE

An Erlenmeyer flask, also known as a conical flask (British English) or a titration flask, is a type of laboratory flask which features a flat bottom, a conical body, and a cylindrical neck. It is named after the German chemist Emil Erlenmeyer (1825–1909), who created it in 1860.

fermenter is an enclosed and sterilised vessel that maintains optimal conditions for the growth of a microorganism
  • The microorganism undergoes fermentation to produce large quantities of a desired metabolite for commercial use

Fermenters are designed to contain an internal environment for the 
optima metabolization and efficient reproduction of microorganisms.

  • (1) It is used to test whether a substance is acidic or basic.
  • (3) It is a natural indicator and gives pink colour in basic solution.
  • (5) Nature of ant’s sting.
  • (6) It is responsible for increase in temperature during a neutralisation reaction.
Q2. Boojho, Paheli and their friend Golu were provided with a test tube each containing China rose solution which was pink in colour. Boojho added two drops of solution ‘A’ in his test tube and got dark pink colour. Paheli added 2 drops of solution ‘B’ to her test tube and got green colour. Golu added 2 drops of solution ‘C’ but could not get any change in colour. Suggest the possible cause for the variation in their results.
