Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the question

The question asks which stage of microbiological analysis involves observing and characterizing colonial growth characteristics.

Step 2: Evaluate options
  • Inspection: This involves direct observation of a sample, including macroscopic characteristics of colonies.
  • Specimen collection: This is the initial step where the sample containing potential microorganisms is gathered.
  • Inoculation: This involves introducing the collected specimen onto a suitable growth medium.
  • Incubation: This step provides optimal conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) for microbial growth.
  • Isolation: This process aims to separate individual microbial species from a mixed culture.
Step 3: Choose the correct option

The act of observing colonial growth directly addresses inspection, observing characteristics like size, shape, etc., after the microbe has been cultured.
