How do we chemically show that milk is off? Background investigation The problem that my associate Keely and I wanted to analise was how to chemically test and show that milk is off and how this happens. We wanted to know this because we have just purchased a small dairy farm on the outskirts of Camperdown Victoria. We are curious about the science behind off milk‚ and are wondering if there are ways our milk stay fresher for longer. Aim The main focus of our experiment was to find

MICROBIOLOGY 3444-007 Gram Negative Unknown Unknown Bacteria #14 LeNaiya Kydd 4/2/2014 Abstract In order to be able to identify the unknown organism that was given to us‚ we had to conduct a number of different tests. These biological tests are used because they help us be able to identify the properties of the unknown we have and be able to compare our observed results with actual results of all the potential organisms. When all of the data of the test are put together it is easy to

Having the ability to collect and identify unknown microorganisms is vital in health and medicine. This capability is important for a variety of reasons‚ such as knowing the causative agent of disease‚ knowing if the microorganism obtains any beneficial properties and knowing the correct microorganism to use to create a successful antibiotic. Implementing the experimental methods learned thus far in the microbiology laboratory allowed an unknown bacterium to be identified as a result of this study

For this lab‚ we had to figure out which antacid was the most effective out of all 3 of them. To figure out which one was the most effective‚ the antacid which took the most amount of drops of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) to neutralize the antacid would be most effective. Based on the results‚ Life Brand Milk of Magnesia was the most effective out of the three antacids because it took 120 drops of hydrochloric acid (HCl) to neutralize the antacid. The active ingredient in Life Brand Milk of Magnesia is
