Solution

The description of the elevation of a bacterial colony above the surface of an agar plate is "Convex". This term is used in microbiology to describe the shape of the colony that is raised or curved in the middle, similar to a dome or an umbrella. The other terms like filamentous, irregular, round, and rhizoid are used to describe other characteristics or shapes of bacterial colonies, not their elevation.

A sterile agar plate, I, is streaked with a pure culture of bacteria by means of aseptic techniques. Paper discs treated with the antibiotics Aureomycin (A) and penicillin (P) are placed at opposite sides of the plate, as shown in the diagram above. The plate is examined after a 24-hour incubation period, and a clear ring is discovered around disc A, but not around disc P. Within the clear ring around disc A, a single bacterial colony with physical characteristics like those of the pure culture is observed. A second sterile agar plate, II, is then streaked with this single colony and also incubated with antibiotics.
