Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests‚ and my unknown bacteria is #17. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures. The differential

These differences are perhaps most highlighted in the medical field where stereochemistry of a molecule can be the difference between having a medically active‚ effective drug and a toxic‚ potentially

Formal paper number 1 Professor Tolentino Maria Oyervide EXPERIMENT #4 IONIC AND COVALENT COMPOUNDS Abstract: This experiment was divided in four steps to find the electrical conductivity of covalent and ionic solutions. There were four unknown solutes A‚ B and C. Each had a specific weight and was dissolved in a certain amount of solute to form either the covalent or ionic solution. Covalent compounds are made up of molecules which are electrically neutral. Ionic compounds are composed

Introduction: During this unknown lab report various test were performed to differentiate microbes from each other and to compare metabolic and biochemical process. The gram stain distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria based on the composition of the cell wall. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. Gram positive bacteria stain violet due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan

Microbiology-2460 Lab-003 March 31‚2008 Lab Report-Escherichia coli Abstract The purpose for this lab report was to identify and inform of an unknown bacteria that has been causing a patient to have lower abdominal and pelvic pain. To obtain the identification of this unknown bacterium‚ several biochemical tests needed to be performed in order to prescribe the correct medication to treat and cure the symptoms. Introduction In a lab today‚ I am to identify an unknown bacterium that is

Title Page Density Formal Lab Report Name Professors Name Date Purpose/Objective: Determine density of a product for a plastic manufacturing facility. Provide quality control by making sure the physical properties are within design specifications. Density is defined as the ratio of an object’s mass to its volume‚ measured by dividing mass by volume (density = mass/volume). This was accomplished using two different experimental methods‚ displacement and floatation. The theory is that

` Study Guide for Exam 1 Chapter 1: 1. What is a “microbe”? What groups of organisms are included in this category? Microbes (microorganisms) are minute living things that individually are too small to be seen with the unaided eye the group includes bacteria‚ fungi‚ protozoa‚ and microscopic algae‚ viruses Only minority of microorganisms are pathogenic(disease-producing) 2. What are some of the benefits provided by microbes? Decompose organic waste‚ producers in the ecosystem
