Tanti Lim Thurs AM Unknown Project I. Introduction The purpose to this lab was to isolate and identify two unknown bacteria from a mixed culture provided to us. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been instructed on thus far in microbiology laboratory class. Each test performed‚ provided us with some key information about the unknown microbes in question . The identification of unknown bacteria is a time honored part of microbiology courses. It will challenge

Linn (Balete) sap as an alternative material to produce environment friendly cups Review of Related Literature Collecting Sap For many years‚ the means to collect sap was to hang a bucket to the tree‚ and to wait for the sap to drip out. This process was very slow and ineffective. Later on they started a new method of sap collecting which was attaching a tube to each tree that would all lead to a central station. Scientists

and identification of Bacterial isolates An enrichment culture technique was used for the isolation of bacteria responsible for biodegradation of phorate in soil. Screening of these bacterial species for phorate degradation in liquid cultures in our previous study (Jariyal et al.‚ 2014)‚ resulted in identification of bacterial species B. aerophilus strain Imbl 4.1 ‚ Brevibacterium frigoritolerans strain Imbl 2.1 and Pseudomonas fulva strain Imbl 5.1. However‚ these bacterial species‚ causing complete

MIC Practical Report Kerry Haarhoff 18 April 2012 3150540 Introduction Bacteria and fungi are both micro-organisms‚ however‚ fungi are spore-producing organisms whereas bacteria are not and fungi can be multicellular and bacteria is only a unicellular organism. These 2 micro-organisms‚ along with many other things circulate in the air within our environment. These micro-organisms then settle and become more prevalent in different areas. An experiment was conducted to see where

Abstract This experiment analyzes the effects of how temperature affects bacterial and fungus amylase and also discovers the optimum temperature for these enzymes. The amylase was mixed with starch at temperatures of 0℃‚ 37℃‚ 57℃‚ and 90℃. Iodine was added to each mixture and colour changes in each case. Bacteria amylase was found to be effective at 55 0C as the temperature dropped drastically from 4.58℃ to 2.33℃. This shows that the amylase catabolized a lot of starch hence little is left which

Bacterial Morphology MLT1 Task 11- Lab 2 Johnny Archuleta Western Governors University Question A and C answers. A wet mount stain is when a drop of water is placed onto the microscope slide. The water on the slide helps to support the organism and sample. The water fills the space between the cover slip and the slide. This action allows the light from the microscope to pass through the slide and the sample for better visualization of the organisms. A direct stain occurs when a charged

Introduction: Bacteria are microscopic‚ single-celled organisms. Their genetic information is encoded in one large chromosome. It can also be found in plasmids which are small circular pieces of DNA that contain important genetic information for the growth of bacteria. In nature‚ this information is often a gene that encodes a protein that will make the bacteria resistant to an antibiotic. The reason for this protein being made within the bacteria is because of how bacteria usually grow in the same

The Gram staining method is named after the Danish bacteriologist who originally developed it in 1882‚ Hans Christian Gram. The Gram staining process is one of the most important staining techniques in microbiology. It is almost always the first test performed for the identification of bacteria. The primary stain of the Gram’s method is either crystal violet or methylene blue‚ each almost equally effective. The microorganisms that retain the crystal violet and iodine mixture appear purplish brown

A streak culture was performed on a Tryptic Soy Agar Plate for isolation and purity and then incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for 24 hours. A gram stain was performed to determine whether the bacterium was a gram negative or a gram positive. After performing the gram stain‚ I concluded that by the appearance of purple spherical clusters resembling grapes that is was a gram positive cocci. A Catalase test was then performed using hydrogen peroxide. A positive catalase test was observed
