Thanks a lot ma'am. I hope you would also consider demonstrating how is antimicrobial testing being done for extracts derived from plants or animals. Thank you
Thanks alot ma'am! I've been searching procedures to do a bacterial culture at home for months now! this helps alot on our research project Thank you po!
Gelatinase break down peptide bonds, which is present in protein-materials like the broth cube. But, agar is a carbohydrate, it is not a protein. How does the gelatinase produced by the bacteria degrade the culture medium? Is it because the broth cube/protein have been mixed well together with the agar solution that breaking peptide bonds also physically damage the agar? Thanks.
In my humble experience in laboratory, very few bacteria can degrade agar because it is cellulosic, made from algae extract. Gelatinase can work usually on gelatin made from animal extract which is usually 98-99% protein so you are right that it breaks down peptide bonds so it can solubilize gelatin.
Hi ma'am, thank you for this video. May I ask po what contaminating action did you do on the sample E (the one in the jar lid) for it to have that visible colonies compared to samples A to D? Thank you.
If used at home pwede na rin boiling water lang. If you have uv light you can use that too. In the lab, plastic petri dishes are disposables. You can buy it sterile then use it only once. It cannot withstand autoclaving.
The laboratory grade nutrient agar usually contains peptone, beef extract, and agar primarily as solidifying agent. In addition to these nutrients, some vitamins and some trace ingredients necessary for the growth of bacteria are also added. The peptone is the source of nitrogen or protein. The beef extract is the primary source of carbon which is essential for the formation of carbohydrates in the bacteria. It also contains other components like some vitamins, different trace minerals, organic compounds, and salts, which further enhance the growth of different organisms. Because I was only trying to make use of what is available at home, in the kitchen, I thought of using gelatin as it called (but really agar as they are made from 100% algae extract) to be the solidifying ingredient. I used beef cubes which is a replacement for two ingredients, the peptone and beef extract including different trace minerals, organic compounds, and salts for the purpose mentioned above. Protein is very important in culture media because it acts as a source of amino acids for the bacteria, necessary for gene expression.
Hlo madam can we prepare culture media for bacteria using natural ingredients plzz reply I'm doing project on it and suggest some natural ingredients plzz 🙏
Yes you can. You can find something like seaweed as solidifying ingredients, boil meat like chicken and beef as source of protein. You may add natural extracts.
@@jhonamiemabuhay1886 additional question maam hehe, is it ok if i'll put the whole bouillon beef cubes? im afraid baka mafail yung homemade agar ko po.. and what's the proper incubation po? thank u maam!!
@@baemax5769 hi. If you will use the whole cube it will darken na color of your medium. It will be difficult to see other colonies and maybe too much na ang trace elements like salt that may inhibit growth. Incubate at room temp not higher than 35 degrees para hindi magliquify
Hello po Ma'am! We are tasked po kasi to take picture po after 2 days, 4 days and 7 days po tapos I may have pour the gelatin too early sa mold and as a result, the cover is slightly burry. Is it okay po to take picture without the lid off during those days? Or is it very dangerous to do so?
It is dangerous. You can devise a contained environment before opening it. Wipe the surface of the lid then put back before taking photo. Opening it without containment would mean contamination.
Maam may I ask po if we can use an Egg incubator to incubate the bacterial culture? the incubator also runs on 35-37C but not that stable po since bumababa and tumataas, can we use it po as a substitute incubator
Medyo mahirap po yan sa characterization ng colonies. You poured your culture medium too early. Kung sobrang mainit pa sya magiging wet talaga yan. Wait ka until medyo warm na lang ang medium before mo ipour sa plates.
Pwede naman buksan pero dapat sa laminar flow or Basta sterile environment para hindi macontaminate. Tapos dapat may gloves at mask kasi baka pathogenic Yan.. pwede naman iprolong ang incubation para lumaki colonies..
thank you so much po I'm really using this for our home based research testing, but i have 1 question po, how do you dispose the agar plates properly??
@@jhonamiemabuhay1886 oooh thank you po, ito nalang po yung need ko isagot sa research adviser namin, tysm po naperfect ko po yung performance task ko.
Ma'am gusto ko sana malaman kung pano gawin yung broth culture at home. I researched na need pa ng autoclave. Is it possible na may alternative way po to autoclave it? I need this po kasi to make my research feasible.
Broth culture medium can be done similarly minus the gelatin as solidifying agent. Alternatively, you can boil meat preferrably beef to get extract for better medium. You may use pressure cooker to replace autoclave.
As a hypothetical: What if you were stranded on an island and had to make penicillin from scratch …? How would you make your medium (if there were no Supermarkets)…?? THAT would be an interesting video….if you were rebuilding civilisation and had to make penicillin from scratch, could you?
Interesting. It would probably be possible considering that I know what to do, but it will take ages in the absence of materials and equipment. I would probably go for herbal plants as a source of antibiotic..

Difficult to do it at home. You will need selective culture media for isolation. If allowede kayo gumamit ng lab, doable naman sya sa lab. You can use culture media like EMB agar, TSB or BHI

Mam which ingredients you add
That's great I would try that at home thanks
But I have a question is all kinds of gelatin can be used???????????????
Maybe yes but I suggest gelatin from seaweed. Many bacteria can liquify gelatin but not many if the origin is similar to agar..
Hi Maam, May I ask what did you use as gelatin? knox dissolves after 3 days.
I used the common snack gelatin. Not sure what you have in your area but check ingredients. It has to be from natural seaweed..m
Hi ma'am, thank you for this video. May I ask po what contaminating action did you do on the sample E (the one in the jar lid) for it to have that visible colonies compared to samples A to D? Thank you.
I just left it open for 5mins in the lab...
maam, is it required for the gulaman to have seawead extract or we can use the transparent one without the seaweed extract?
I fear that without seaweed extract it will easily be liquified by many bacteria...
Hello .mam, could this culture media will also work with bacillus thuringiensis and trichoderma? Am a farmer
It may work as temporary culture medium if you have pure culture. For trichoderma, add a bit of sugar. Will not be good for isolation...
What is the alternate for broth cube ? please reply ?
boiled meat, any meat...
