Purpose Identifying and categorizing different, isolated bacterial
colonies based upon varied appearance and morphology (form. and
structure) will permit the selection and transfer of different species
from a mixed culture, and allow transfer of a single colony to a sterile
medium for cultivation of a pure culture. This exercise also shows how
many diverse bacteria and fungi are present in our environment, as
exhibited by the varied morphologies.
Principles When a single bacterial cells is deposited on the surface of a
nutritive medium, it begins to divide exponentially. After thousands
(up to billions) of cells are formed, a visable mass appears. This mass
of cells is called a colony. Each species of bacterial or fungal
organism will exhibit characteristic colonies.
Additional Information Colony charachterisitcs are described in standard
terminology to permit interpretation by other persons. These terms may
appear to be complicated; however, you will soon become familiar with
them. Remember: the best descriptions are complete, but concise.
Terms
1. Colony shape and size: round, irregular, punctiform. (tiny)
2. Margin (edge): entire (smooth), undulate (wavy), lobate (lobed)
3. Elevation: convex, umbonate, flat, raised
4. Color: color or pigment, plus opaque, translucent, shiny or dull
5. Texture: moist, mucoid, dry (or rough).
Use the images below to practice describing different colony morphologies.
