I removed he swabs from their packets and swabbed the inside of my cheek and put them back in their packets. 3. I then lifted the lid of the TSA plate slightly at an angle to prevent airborne microorganisms from contaminating the agar and smeared the surface of the agar with the swab from the floor and labelled it ‘TSA floor’. I did the same for the swab from my cheek and labelled it ‘TSA cheek’. I repeated this process for the SDA

shigellosis include Btilliant Green Agar‚ and Triple Sugar-Iron Agar. Expected results in a confirmed case of shigellosis are as follows: Brilliant Green Agar – Isolated Shigella colonies which do not ferment lactose or sucrose and appear red or white in color with no growth to trace growth on the Agar plate will be present. Triple Sugar-Iron Agar – Presence of Shigella will manifest as a red slant with a yellow butt with no H2S present. In Brilliant Green Agar‚ E. coli O157 would present as isolated

temperature as temperature is lower their growth is also slower and temperature above 30ºC may cause mutation in petite and sporulation is highly inhibited. 6. Isolating Single Colonies: Done by streaking cultures out on an agar plate to dilute the cells on the surface of the agar‚ overlapping streaks‚ separation or distribution of cells to form isolated single colonies. 7. Estimating the Number of Yeast Cells in a Culture: How to differentiate between molds and yeast culture: Traditional methods:

the way physicians’ control/treat infectious disease within our bodies. In this lab‚ chemotherapeutic agents were evaluated by the disk-diffusion method. Chemotherapeutic agents are placed on the surface of a Petri plate containing Mueller-Hinton agar‚ which allows the agents to diffuse freely‚ and a growth medium is incubated over its’ surface. During incubation‚ the chemotherapeutic agents move from levels of high concentration‚ to low levels of concentration. To be effective‚ the agent must inhibit

Experimental Methods In this lab‚ we use the procedure from Chemically Defined‚ Complex‚ Selective‚ and Differential Media. We divide the agar plates that have the unknown in third‚ write our initials‚ and date on the bottom of the agar plate. We also divide the agar plates into quadrants‚ label each organism in their quadrant‚ write our initials‚ and date on the bottom of the agar plates. We flame the loop and let it cool for a minute‚ we remove the cap of each culture tube of organisms with our pinky while

Experiment No. 03 Date: Name of the experiment: Aerobic plate count (APC) and total coliform count of supplied yogurt sample. Purpose: To determine the aerobic plate count and total coliform count of the supplied yogurt sample. Principle: Yogurt squeezed or extracted from milks are more or less acidic‚ depending on the product‚ the pH generally ranges from about 2.4-4.2 and contain sugar (4.7g)‚ fat

effect of size on the effectiveness of diffusion Aim: To use agar blocks infused with 0.1 Molar sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and phenolphthalein to investigate the relationship between shape and surface area: volume ratio on the effectiveness of diffusion. Hypothesis: That for a cube of agar‚ the time taken for complete colourisation due to diffusion of HCl is directly proportional to the cubes volume. Materials: |A block of agar (10cm x 5cm x 3cm) with 0.1M NaOH and |1x 250mL beaker
