what are the bacterial morphologies???

Question

What are the bacterial morphologies of a fresh yogurt slide and a prepared yogurt slide? Which types?

More micro homework......observed through a microscope but wanted to check what I was supposed 2 see...thank you

Answer 1

I can not see them so can not tell what the morphologies are. Knowing what organisms are used in the production of yogurt ( Streptococcus Thermophilus and Lactobacillus Delbrueckii bulgaricus) and looking in Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology you should be able to tell what main shapes should be present. But why they should be different (if they are) in a prepared and a fresh slide I can't say.
