Alyse Rose Microbiology Lab Bacterial Unknown March 25‚ 2013 Bacterial Unknown Report Each student was given an unknown bacteria to figure out. I was given the unknown bacteria S38. Everybody is supposed to do all sorts of test to identify the bacteria. The first thing I did was smear my bacteria on a liquid medium. I then proceeded to incubate the medium for 24-48 hours. 1. GRAM STAIN The next step I took in finding my unknown bacteria was to gram stain it. This is used to differentiate

a specific disease. We use his postulates because they provide accurate data. 2. Through this letter I would like to present my opinion regarding Grams staining method and reliability of this method. According to me‚ Grams staining process is a simple technique that assists in recognition of etiological agent and therefore can be called as one of the most significant staining practices in microbiology. Though‚ Gram is concerned that the staining process developed by him is imperfect because

Lab Report (Scientific Paper) 2: Bacterial Transformation;DNA Extraction Part I & II:Total Genomic Extraction & Plasmid Extraction;Electrophoresis By:Chris Foster Abstract: We conducted three experiments that included a Bacterial Transformation‚ a two process DNA extraction‚ and a final procedure using gel electrophoresis. The Bacterial Transformation lab was performed to prepare the plasmid into a bacteria and to use that bacteria to amplify the plasmid in order to make large quantities

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

The identification of an unknown bacterial environmental isolate through a series of morphological‚ physiological and differential exercises. The purpose of the environmental isolate report is to learn what is necessary in order to take an unknown environmental isolate (EI) and identify it. This was achieved through a series of exercises that provided information on the morphological‚ physiological and biochemical traits of the EI which were then compiled and interpreted in order to make a presumptive

Title: Chapter 7: Bacterial Growth Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to observe the bacterial growth of Escherichia coli under various conditions. Physical factors and nutritional requirements determine the overall concentration of the bacteria. Along with the use of a spectrophotometer and the technique of serial dilution‚ countable colonies can be obtained. Results are plotted on a semi-log graph in order to observe the different growth curves corresponding to optical density (cell

The science of microbiology is all about microorganisms‚ what they do and how they work. Microorganisms are ubiquitous‚ and are a very important part of life everywhere since they have been around for billions of years. The two main themes associated with microbiology are (1) having an understanding of the nature and function of the microbial world‚ and (2) being able to apply that understanding of the microbial world so that the benefits to the Earth and humans are known(6). This lab specifically

Modeling bacterial growth is important in maximizing the efficiencies of biological processes. Although there are many different methods of modeling bacterial growth‚ this experiment focuses on the Monod equations. However‚ in order to use the Monod equations‚ the maximum growth rate and Monod constant must be found. Here we show how the maximum growth rate and Monod constants can be obtained for Escherichia coli using M9 media in a bioreactor at 37 °C and 500 RPM. The maximum growth rate is also
