The vacuole is a membrane bound space found in the cytoplasm. It contain water, sap, excretory product and other materials that are not useful for the cell. In plants osmosis vacuoles occupy 90% of the volume of the cell. They help in maintaining cell fluid balance, and shape of the cell by maintaining turgor pressure against the cell well.

I have some questions regarding Micronauts. "The MICRONAUT system provides antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST/AFST) either with standard MIC plates with a dedicated layout or with individual customized layouts." In order for me to perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing, I have to suspend the bacteria in an SB-Medium and then transfer it onto the plates. Why? What is the purpose of the SB-Medium? In some of the cavities, after incubation, I have to add Peptidase reagent or Indol reagent. Why?
