Another sample was applied to a glass slide‚ heat fixed and a Gram stain test was performed. From the list of several possible choices for the unknowns‚ about half are eliminated. Table 1 indicates the tests that were performed on the unknown sample‚ all materials required for each test‚ as well as factors determining a positive or negative result.

04/29/2013 G-Unknown code Gram Positive-Micrococcus luteus Gram Negative- Klebsiella pneumoniae Unknown Paper The unknown project was a very good realization of me and my partner going out by our selves. The very first day of the Unknown project I was acquainted with Denise who was very friendly and was very nice as far as assisting me in the project. The first day we were introduced too various different forms of the unknown such as broth‚ Blood agar plate‚ MSA plate

my unknown identification was to carry out a gram stain to observe the cell shape and arrangement. My unknown turned out to be gram positive bacteria cocci shaped with long chain cell arrangement. The unknown was gram positive because the cells stained blue-violet ‚this indicate that my unknown has ability to retain crystal violet-iodine after alcohol application on the cells which is a gram positive characteristic caused by more peptidoglycan than gram negative organisms on cell walls . To observe

test the purity of the unknown. After the plates were incubated and grown‚ the morphology was observed and recorded and a Gram stain was performed. After determining the Gram reaction‚ specific biochemical tests were performed. The biochemical tests were chosen from the unknown identification tables that were in the lab manual. Since the unknown #54 was determined to be a Gram positive rod‚ a thyoglycollate test was performed to determine aerobic activity. Table 1 lists the test‚ purpose‚ reagents

different biochemical tests for the isolated organisim from the sputum sample‚ it was concluded that the unknown Gram positive organism was Streptococcus pyogenes. The sputum sample was first inoculated in the agar plates MAC‚ SBAP‚ CHOC and also a direct gram stain of the sample was performed. After a day of incubation‚ the MAC agar gave a negative result‚ therefore it is not a Gram-negative bacteria and non-lactose fermenting. The SBAP and CHOC showed growth of colonies. The CHOC agar had a mixed

| Gram Negative Unknown | Biology 3444-006 | | Lena Wallace | 11/7/2011 | | Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to identify an unknown bacteria culture using differential tests. The identification of the unknown culture was accomplished by identifying the bacteria based on its specific metabolic characteristics and morphology. It is suggested that culture 11 is a sample of Enterobacter aerogenes. Introduction: This experiment was centered on metabolic and biochemical testing

Gongora 12th December‚ 2014 MCB 3020L- Section 018 Unknown #16 Abstract This report contains the background information on gram positive and gram negative bacteria‚ which will aid in understanding the use of specific laboratory experiments to distinguish between the two types of bacteria. Included are the materials and methods used to identify the gram positive and gram negative bacteria and methods which also differentiate between microbes of each group. The implications of the methods of identification

The aseptically inoculate nutrient broth tubes A and B did not have any microbes inoculated into the tubes so it should not have been cloudy and that was what was seen. Tube C should have been cloudy because it had E. coli inoculated into the nutrient broth and that was also seen. A simple streak was also performed and it looks has if the loop went over previous streaks which should not have been done. A complex streak was also done. No colonies grew towards the end of the streak‚ this could be due

Requirements for Unknown Report You have been provided a mixed culture (a gram positive and a gram negative) from which you should have isolated each type of organism‚ described their colonies on a TSA plate‚ and described their cellular morphology. You were graded on this activity separately. After you have isolated your gram negative in pure culture you will be subjecting it to various biochemical tests and making observations about the cells‚ colonies‚ growth temperature preferences‚ etc. in

Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to isolate two unknown bacteria and perform a series of selective and differential tests to correctly identify each. After the bacteria was isolated a series of differential and selective tests following the dichotomous key attached were used to identify each bacteria. The Gram-positive bacteria were
