Gram Negative Unknown Lab Report Abstract The Unknown Gram Negative bacterium inoculated in a Tryptic Soy broth medium was randomly selected from a group of other unknowns. In order to identify this unknown the seven different types of biochemical tests will be conducted on this unknown bacterium to identify it out of 6 possible bacteria; Escherichia coli(E. coli)‚ Enterobacter aerogenes (E.aerogenes)‚ Klebsiella pneumoniae (K.pneumoniae)‚ Proteus mirabilis(P.miranilis)‚ Pseudomonas aeruginosa(P

In March 10‚ the first procedure that was done was gram staining. The purpose of this procedure was to determine if the unknown bacterium is gram-positive or gram-negative‚ and also to determine the cell shape. Gram-positive cells will be purple while gram-negative cells will be pink. The methods for the Gram staining method first starts with a fixed smear of the bacterium‚ covered it with crystal violet for 30 seconds. Afterwards‚ it should be gently rinsed off with distilled water and be covered

Lab Practical One Report Unknown Bacteria Staining Gram Acid Fast Spore The first practical for microbiology was staining of an unknown bacteria. Professor Goode provided an unlabeled bacteria in which each individual were to conduct gram‚ acid fast‚ and spore staining tests from memory. When the gram staining test was conducted a positive results was obtained. When views on oil bacteria appeared purple and rod-like. I noted this result and looked at the lab key to see what the results narrowed

Discuss the role of endogenous pacemakers in the control of circadian rhythms [AO1 8 marks‚ AO2 16 marks] An endogenous pacemaker is an internal biological clock that controls the way in which many of our biological rhythms behave. Many of these rhythms run on a 24 hour basis‚ such as the sleep/wake cycle‚ bodily temperatures and some of our hormones. The main endogenous pacemaker in mammals is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN)‚ which is located in the hypothalamus. It receives information

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. Scientific writing is typically written in the passive voice. The

Discuss the role of endogenous pacemakers and exogenous zeitgebers in the sleep-wake cycle and at least one other biological rhythm Endogenous pacemakers and exogenous zeitgebers can manipulate the various bodily rhythms‚ and have particular affects on the sleep / week cycle in the circadian rhythm. Endogenous pacemakers are separate and distinct internal rhythms that affect the bodily rhythms; similarly‚ exogenous zeitgebers are outside influences‚ and sometimes outside rhythms that also affect

Outline and evaluate the role of endogenous pacemakers and of exogenous zeitgebers in the control of circadian rhythms (8+16) Circadian rhythms are biological rhythms that occur every 24 hours‚ an example of a circadian rhythm is the sleep-wake cycle‚ another circadian rhythm is body temperature which is at its lowest at around 36 degrees at night and it peaks in the morning at 38 degrees. Endogenous pacemakers are internal body ’clocks’ that will modulate biological rhythms‚ the SCN is an example

Unknown Bacteria Lab Report Introduction The purpose to this lab was to identify an unknown bacteria from a mixed culture provided to us by our instructor. 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 organism in question and how the bacteria function. Over a two week period‚ eight prepared types of test media were provided to identify
