  • A.a change in the pH of the medium
  • B.the number of cells currently present
  • C.the concentration of dissolved oxygen
  • D.the age of the culture vessel itself

Answer: A

Yellow indicates acidity, usually from cells respiring heavily or from bacterial contamination, and purple indicates alkalinity from loss of carbon dioxide. It gives an immediate visual check without opening the flask. A quick glance at the colour tells an experienced worker a great deal.
