(i) Nucleus
The nucleus is a double wall membrane structure. It regulates the cellular activities . It constitutes the following parts-
Nuclear membrane : It is a double membrane separating the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm. The narrow space between the two membranes is called the perinuclear space. Nuclear membrane has tiny holes called nuclear pores. These holes allow specific substances to be transferred into a nucleus and out from it.
Nucleoplasm/Nuclear matrix : It is a homogenous granular fluid present inside the nucleus. It contains the nucleolus and chromatin. The nucleolus is a spherical structure that is not bound by any membrane. It is rich in protein and RNA molecules and is the site of ribosome formation. Chromatin is an entangled mass of thread-like structures. It contains DNA and some basic proteins called as histones.

(ii) Centrosome
Centrosome has two cylindrical structures called centrioles. Each has a cartwheel-like organisation. A centriole is made up of microtubule triplets in a ring. The adjacent triplets are linked together. There is a proteinaceous hub in the central part of a centriole. The hub is connected to the triplets via radial spokes. These centrioles help in organising the spindle fibres and astral rays during cell division. They form the basal body of cilia and flagella as well.

You are given broth culture and want to identify the bacterial presence in the broth. Your first step in the process to identify the organisms would be to perform further testing and staining. Use TSA plates for aerobic organisms and perform further testing and staining. Use a Gram stain and based on the Gram stain results, use the same broth to set up biochemical tests. Inoculate a TSB and Glucose Salt Broth (GSB) to confirm the ability to grow in both.
