Identification and Recreation of Unknown White Compound #643p November 13‚ 2012 INTRODUCTION: The identity of the unknown solid white compound is determined and verified through a series of tests which uncover physical and chemical properties necessary for identification. A new sample of the same compound is then created to further prove the accuracy of the identification. The compound must be identified in order to be used. For example‚ KCl is used in medicine‚ scientific applications‚ and

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

Determining the Unknown Microorganism from a Mixed Culture Mylah Ferland‚ Rivier University MICRO 206‚ March 16th‚ 2016 Introduction: An unknown bacterium experiment‚ this experiment was done to discover what bacterium was in a mixed culture sample. This experiment worked with enteric bacteria which are members of the Enterobacteriaceae and live in the intestinal tract (Willey et al.‚ 2014). Also found in Willey et al (2014) is some characteristics of enterics such as they all degrade sugars by

UNKNOWN LAB REPORT UNKNOWN NUMBER 54 Ron Williams 7-28-05 Bio 205 Prof. Curlee Fall 2005 Purpose There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from the knowing the causative agent of a disease in a patient‚ so as to know how it can be treated‚ to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain foods or antibiotics. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory

Unknown Bacteria Lab Report Introduction The purpose to this lab was to identify an unknown bacteria from a mixed culture provided to us by our instructor. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been instructed on thus far in microbiology laboratory class. Each test performed‚ provided us with some key information about the unknown organism in question and how the bacteria function. Over a two week period‚ eight prepared types of test media were provided to identify

Enzymes are biological catalysts that work by binding themselves to substrate molecules and lowering the activation energy of a reaction (Alberts et.al‚ 2010 p.90). The purpose of the lab was to test how temperature will affect the rate at which starch hydrolyzed. In the experiment conducted‚ bacterium; Bacillus Licheniformis and the fungus; Aspergillus Oryzae was used to examine how changes in temperature of the enzymes affects the rate of the reaction with starch. Amylase is an enzyme‚ found

The original culture grown consisted of dozens of visibly different organisms of varying colony colors and growth patterns. I chose to test a smaller‚ red colony for my experiments. Based on its gram reaction and oxygen requirements‚ the following tests were performed to reach my presumptive ID: Test Performed Result Gram Stain +

INTRODUCTION Bacillus anthracis has recently become popular as the causative agent of anthrax infections. Belonging to the bacillus species‚ the bacterium is considered‚ along with Bacillus cereus‚ to be of extreme medical importance. Until recently‚ the condition caused by the bacterium was rarely heard of. Although the bacterium is naturally found in the soil‚ its rare occurrences in humans have only been observed in those working with livestock or imported livestock products‚ therefore the
