2 agar plates divided into 4 equal sections were used for this experiment. Each section was labeled with a number from 1-8. 8 Sterile swabs were used‚ 1 for each surface swab. 8 surfaces in my home were then identified that could serve as a fomite and swabbed with a sterile swab that was dipped in distilled water to moisten it. Surface #1 was the garbage disposal in the kitchen sink. It was swabbed and the microbes transferred to the appropriately labeled section marked #1 of the agar plate

In this lab you will test the idea that microbes are ubiquitous or present everywhere at all times. Materials One Triptic Soy Agar (TSA) plate per student One sterile swab Procedure 1. Decide on an area to test for the ubiquity of microbes. List your area on the white board in front of the classroom. 2. Obtain one TSA plate and label it on the bottom (side with the agar) with your name‚ class section and the surface you will sample. 3. Obtain one sterile swab. 4. To obtain a sample‚ roll the sterile

utilizing procedures learnt during the semester. Procedures were followed as stated in the lab manual (1). Since the sample contained two unidentified bacteria‚ the first step was to isolate each bacterium using streak plate technique. Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) plate‚ and differential media such as mannitol salt and Eosin methylene blue (EMB) were used for isolation streak technique. This step is imperative because the bacteria need to be separated and isolated before they can be identified. Moreover

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Mangrove swamps are forested intertidal ecosystems that occupy sediment-rich sheltered tropical coastal environments. By trapping and stabilizing fine sediments‚ mangroves control the quality of marine coastal waters. Aside from maintaining coastal food webs and populations of animals‚ mangroves have an important role in pollution control through their absorptive capacity for organic pollutants and nutrients‚ and they play an important role in storm

Objectives 1. To determine biochemical activities of microorganisms. 2. To observe the product of biochemical activities of microorganisms. 3. To learn the skills of inoculation agar tubes and agar plates. Introduction Microorganisms are able to carry out different biochemical activities with the ease of different enzymes. Each of these enzymes carries out one specific type of the chemical transformation. They convert substrates into product. A) Carbohydrates Fermentation Microorganisms utilize

Unknown Identification Report The objective of this experiment was to identify an organism from a mixture of two unknown bacterial species. In order to accomplish this‚ I first plated my unknown mixture on Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA)‚ Columbia Naladixic Acid (CNA)‚ and MacConkey’s Agar (MAC) plates. After 48 hours of incubation‚ it was unclear that two different bacterial colonies had grown on my TSA plate. Only one type of colony was evident. However‚ it was apparent that I had successfully isolated

Course: BIO-205 BD2 Microbiology Instructor: Dirk VandePol Date: 6/21/2013 Streak Plate Isolation for Obtaining Pure Culture 1. When an agar plate is inoculated‚ why is the loop sterilized after the initial inoculation in put on? Ans: We use agar plate to inoculate microbes by zipping the loop on the agar several times. We streak on the agar plate four time‚ propose is to isolate the unknown bacteria. Therefore‚ the first time to streak on the plate‚ there are million of bacteria on the

IDENTIFYING GRAM POSITIVE COCCI As mentioned in Exercise 8‚ “Identifying Gram Negative Rods”‚ identifying bacteria is a common activity in the microbiology lab. Like the game Clue™‚ each time you gather a piece of information to solve the mystery‚ you gather some information that supports some identities and eliminates others from contention. In the lab‚ the process continues as you gather more information until only one microbe remains and all others have been eliminated as possibilities. Thus
