TITLE Lab #4 Soil –vs- Water Microbiology INTRODUCTION There are 4 learning goals for this lab: 1. Collect samples and compile data from at least 2 sources (soil; water) of your choice. 2. Identify at least 2 Prokaryotes (bacteria) and 2 Eukaryotes (fungus) in your samples. 3. Research the importance of bacteria and fungus to Earth in a non-medical context. 4. Compile a high-quality‚ 3+ resource (excluding the lab worksheet)‚ MLA-cited in-text laboratory report using the scientific method by

NTRODUCTION Often in the study of microbiology‚ the need to identify an unknown microbe may arise. This aids in the recognition of which microbes are harmful or pathogenic as well as those that may be beneficial to us in some way. This report will detail how a similar project was performed in order to identify two unknown micobes using the techniques that were learnt during the course of the semester. We embarked on the project with the knowledge that we would have to identify a Gram(+) as well

that can assist in identification of bacteria are their ecological habitats and more advanced methods such as genetic and molecular composition. Using various techniques one is able to distinguish and ultimately assign then genus and species of the unknown bacteria. Methods: Gram Staining: The Gram stain separates bacteria in two distinct classes and is also useful in distinguishing morphology. Through this technique one is able to identify bacteria as either gram positive or gram negative. The gram-negative

Introduction to Microbiology – Case Study 1 Kristen Alejos You are working as an emergency room nurse in Topeka when a mother brings in her 8 year old son because of severe‚ bloody diarrhea. When questioned‚ the boy said that it hurts when he goes to the bathroom and his mother said he had vomited in the previous two days. When asked about their previous movements‚ the mother and son both mentioned a backyard barbeque that had taken place 6 days earlier. The boy complained that his mother

Kevin Warwick’s “Into the Unknown‚” he argues that instead of measuring intelligence in a single dimensional value‚ difference aspects like culture and values should be taken into considerations throughout the process. In “The Social Imagination‚” James Flynn expresses a similar viewpoint on the study of intelligence‚ claiming that psychologists tend to overlook and underestimate the social contexts that could possibly alter the results of

the density of water and an unknown liquid. Density is defined as the mass of a substance divided by its volume. It is an intrinsive property of matter and is used to specifically characterize substances. III. Procedure: 1.We massed an empty 10mL graduated cylinder to the nearest .01g. 2.Then‚ we filled the graduated cylinder with 4.0-5.0 mL of distilled water‚ 3.massed it to the nearest 0.1 ml and 4. recorded the data. Then to determine the density of the unknown liquid; we repeated the steps
