True, False
True, True
False, False
False, True
Explanation:
Thermophilic flat sour spoilage generally doesn’t take place at home. Thermophilic flat sour spoilage has one difficulty that there is only formation of acids and no gas leaks.
Question 10
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
For a culture to be kept alive for a long time, the medium permitting limited growth is favourable than one which has enriched conditions.
True
False
Explanation:
A rich/enhanced/artificial culture supports any organism colony for a very limited time although the heat resistant properties of the organism grown in this condition might be highly advanced. Hence, a mediocre level environment should be chosen to get both optimal properties.
