Escherichia coli Microbiology Lab NAS 185-14L Introduction In this lab experiment we did several test to determine what our unknown bacteria was. To determine this we recorded the results of how the bacteria reacted to different media. Depending on the results of each test we could narrow down the different bacteria to determine what our unknown is. This experiment will also determine if our bacteria is a fermenter of sugars and if it is catalase positive. If the bacteria is

Lab Report: Halogen Reactions Purpose: This experiment will allow for exploration into some of the properties of Group 17 elements (halogens) and their compounds. More specifically‚ the solubility properties of these halogens will be used to predict their reactions. The relative electronegativities of the halogens will be determined. Halides‚such as Cl-‚ Br-‚ and I- will be used to make these determinations. Because this lab is qualitative rather than quantitative‚ there are no calculation

subtilis is a Gram-positive bacteria‚ rod-shaped and catalase positive. In order to figure out what is my unknown organism for this assignment‚ I had to perform series of tests. First was the glucose‚ lactose‚ and sucrose test. Through these three tests‚ I was able to detect the ability of the microorganism to ferment a specific carbohydrate. Fermentation reactions are observed by the color change in pH. In class‚ we used phenol red as the pH indicator and the result was a yellow color which indicated

Rate of Enzyme Activity Justin Hunter G. Kim September 16‚ 2011 September 26‚ 2011 Abstract Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms that is frequently used by cells to rapidly catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into less reactive oxygen and water molecules. Catalase is a protein that is most commonly found in the liver. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect that changes in temperature and pH have on the function of the enzyme catalase

hot; catalase activity performed better at 0⁰C than at 100⁰C. Strangely‚ 50⁰C outperformed 37⁰C. Catalase activity was higher for intermediate temperatures such as 37⁰C and 50⁰C than the extreme temperatures such as 0⁰C and 100⁰C. Overall the rate of reaction peaked at 28⁰C and every other temperature had a lower maximum rate of reaction. DISCUSSION The results do not support the hypothesis that optimum temperature would be at 37⁰C. The results do not reflect the textbook narrative of enzyme activity

Aim To investigate the effect of different temperatures on the activity of rennin in milk Introduction Enzymes are globular protein‚ responsible for most of the chemical activities of living organisms. They are made up of long chains of amino acids containing carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen and nitrogen (Gunsch‚ 2012). The role of enzyme is to act as catalysts‚ substances that speed up chemical reactions without being chemically altered during the process. The speeding up of chemical reactions is done
