I was able to come to the conclusion that my unknown is Klebsiella pneumoniae through the use of Bergey’s Manual. After performing a gram stain of my unknown I was able to determine that my unknown was a gram-negative rod. While testing the oxygen requirements my test tube had growth throughout the tube‚ indicating my unknown was a facultative anaerobe‚ which can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen. The most important test was whether my unknown was motile or nonmotile. My test tube only showed

Microbiology Unknown 5/7/2013 Microbiology Unknown #94 The purpose of this report was to identify an unknown bacterium by applying methods that were previously learned and conducted in microbiology lab class. It is possible to identify a mixed culture by running experiments on the unknown bacteria and taking what we already know and applying it to the results. It helps to slowly eliminate any bacteria that do not correspond with the results of certain tests. An unknown test tube labeled 94 was

The purpose of the following study is to determine where the two unknown bacteria acquired in Microbiology lab should be classified in regards to temperature‚ pH level‚ and osmoregularity. It is important to classify bacteria in order to identify them. Identification of bacteria is important because they are not only useful but potentially dangerous as well. The identification of bacteria can lead to breakthroughs in healthcare regarding treatment of old and new diseases alike. Identifying bacteria
