purpose of this lab is to: 1. Collect a sample of soil from (your school) on October 27th 2011 and collect a sample of pond water from (the name of your lake or pond) on October 27th and record the data results for both samples. 2. Using the Gram stain‚ and light microscope identify at least 2 Prokaryotes (bacteria) found in the water samples that are isolated on the MacConkey agar plates and the nutrient agar plate. Using the Identification Lab manual‚ identify at least 2 Eukaryotes (fungus)

Unknown Lab Report Unknown Organism #6 Ann Le (Phuoc) May 6‚ 2010 Dr. Carrington Microbiology Lab- MW 12:50 Le 1 I. Introduction My unknown organism #6 is Morganella morganii‚ which is a gram-negative bacillus rods commonly found in the environment and also in the intestinal tracts of humans‚ mammals‚ and reptiles as a normal flora. (3‚ 5) This bacterium Morganella morganii‚ was first discovered in the 1906 by a British bacteriologist named H. de R. Morgan. (2) Despite its wide

The very first day of the Unknown project I was acquainted with Denise who was very friendly and was very nice as far as assisting me in the project. The first day we were introduced too various different forms of the unknown such as broth‚ Blood agar plate‚ MSA plate

my unknown identification was to carry out a gram stain to observe the cell shape and arrangement. My unknown turned out to be gram positive bacteria cocci shaped with long chain cell arrangement. The unknown was gram positive because the cells stained blue-violet ‚this indicate that my unknown has ability to retain crystal violet-iodine after alcohol application on the cells which is a gram positive characteristic caused by more peptidoglycan than gram negative organisms on cell walls . To observe

was correct. The findings are that we were able to identify‚ by process of elimination‚ the four different test bacteria. PROCEDURE - These procedures were followed for all four media test samples. Label test sample. Record Case study and Gram Stain results. For glucose testing: Select red glucose broth with durem tube. Inoculate red glucose media. Incubate for 24 hours. Record results. For lactose testing: Select red lactose broth. Inoculate red lactose media. Incubate for 24 hours

The Urea test was used to test both Unknown Gram-positive and Unknown Gram-negative bacteria. One colony of bacteria was used from the Unknown 13A plate and Unknown 13B plate in order to inoculate the Urea Slant. After the slant was inoculated‚ the cultures were placed in an incubator at 35ºC for Gram-positive bacteria‚ and 37ºC for Gram-negative bacteria for a total of 48 hours. If the Urea test were positive‚ the color of the slant would have changed to a hot pink color‚ which indicated the bacteria’s

methods that have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification of an unknown bacterium. II. Results Unknown A a. The unknown is a gram negative bacilli Upon performing a gram stain on a colony from a streak of the unknown bacteria‚ at 100x‚ the bacteria stains negative for the gram stain. In addition‚ the structure of the bacteria is bacilli. b. The unknown is a facultative anaerobe A small amount of bacteria was added to a tube of fluid thioglygollate

HOW TO WRITE AN UNKNOWN LAB REPORT IN MICROBIOLOGY GENERAL Unknown reports in microbiology are written in scientific format. Scientific writing is written differently from other types of writing. The results of the exercise or experiment are what are being showcased‚ not the writing. The purpose of scientific writing is not to entertain‚ but to inform. The writing should be simple and easy to understand. There is a specific style that must be followed when writing scientific reports.

that inhabit the upper respiratory tract. Haemophilus species‚ Bordetella species‚ and Corynebacteria diphtheria are common causative agents of upper respiratory illness and served as a lead for this investigation. Corynebacterium diphtheriae is a Gram (+)‚ non-sporing‚ non-motile thin bacilli that can replicate without the invasion of deeper tissues. The agent secretes a powerful exotoxin that has the ability to break the epithelial barrier and travel to the heart which can result in myocarditis
