How would you recognize an antibiotic-producing soil bacterium on a plate crowded with other bacteria? the bacterial colony producing the antibiotic would be

Alone, with a ring surround it with any bacterial growth.

Explanation:

Since the colony produce an antibiotic, but at the same time is a waste of this colony. Is not going to kill them but is able to kill the bacteria that surrounds this colony. It will look a little bit strange because after the antibiotic ring it will be a millions of cells.

the cells uses some of the atoms of the glucose molecules to atp molecules. the atoms of the glucose molecules will then be converted into energy which will be eventually stored in atp. the energy produced which are stored in atp are coming from the glucose’s chemical bonds.
