Group 2 conducted several student lab experiments:
1) They determined the effect of hydrogen ion concentration (pH levels of 3, 5, 7, and 9) on the growth of various microbes, finding that most grew at pH 5-9 but not 3.
2) They distinguished aerobic from anaerobic microbes by their growth in nutrient agar tubes with and without homogenization.
3) They tested the effect of four antibiotic discs on bacterial growth in nutrient agar plates, finding zones of inhibition indicating resistance.

2. The growth of every living creature needs sufficient
nutrients and environmental conditions that support for the
growth process, as well as microbes. There are several
factors that can affect the growth of microbes, such as:
temperature, humidity, osmotic pressure, light, pH, and AW
nutrient. Antibiotic resistance is a bacteria that has a set of
ways to adapt for environments that contain antibiotic.
Resistance mecanism include mutations in bacteria,
inhibition of the enzymatic activity of antibiotics, changes in
proteins that are targets of antibiotics, changes in metabolic
pathways and membrane permeability
3. Student lab can determine the effect of
hydrogen’s ion concentration on the growth
of microbes
Student lab can distinguish the nature of
microbes based on their oxygen needed
Student lab can determine the effect of
chemical compounds on the growth of
microbes

From the pictures above, we know that all of the tubes are shown positive reaction after
incubation by isolates. Pict: 2a. pH 3 2b. pH 5 2c. pH 7 2d. pH 9
Positive reactions: not only indicated by the color change on Glucose-phenol broth but
also can be the formation of a precipitate in the bottom of tube.

14. The growth of bacteria is affected by pH, oxygen
and chemicals
There are several kinds of microbial based on
their need for oxygen: aerobic, facultative
anaerobes and obligate anaerobes
The effect of chemical compounds can inhibit the
growth of microbes
