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

secret ingredient to many mouthwatering Filipino delicacies such as pancit palabok‚ Leyte kinilaw‚ beefsteak Tagalog‚ and arroz caldo. One of the most basic Filipino dipping sauces is made with soy sauce and calamansi juice‚ called toyomansi; and a simple‚ yet flavorful marinade is a blend of soy sauce‚ calamansi juice‚ vinegar‚ pepper‚ and garlic. While many growers see the calamansi as tiny decorative oranges and mostly ornamental‚ they are finding that the trees are problem free and easy to cultivate

Wave Nature of Light Objective: The purpose of this lab is to investigate interference‚ otherwise known as the diffraction of light. A beam of light acts a wave‚ and we are able to use equations so calculate the wavelength of the light used. The diffraction of a straight edge demonstrates that light waves bend around straight edges‚ allowing light to enter an area of shadow. When waves are superposed‚ they reinforce each other when crests are in phase and cancel out when they are not in phase

Laboratory Report The Plasma Membrane I. Introduction The Plasma membrane is the edge of life‚ the boundary that separates the cell from its surroundings. It controls the traffic of materials in and out of the cell. (Reece‚ 2011). It is incredibly thin that is very vital in maintaining the integrity of the cell. Not only does the plasma membrane bind the other organelles‚ it also forms a dynamic structure which gives them their remarkable activity and selectivity. (Hickman‚ 2008). Diffusion

LSM1102 Lab Report Introduction Transformation is a process which involves plasmid DNA being bound to the cell surface and the subsequent uptake of DNA by the cell (Panja et al.‚ 2008). For artificial transformation of E. coli cells with plasmids‚ plasmid DNA has to be extracted from bacterial cells using the High-Speed Plasmid Mini Kit‚ which is then mixed with competent E. coli cells followed by heat shock and the streaking of transformed cells on two different types of agar plate (LB and LB+ampicillin)

Gram Stain: The important part of this experiment is being able to determine a bacterium based on its cell wall structure. It also helps indentify if the unknown organism is a Gram positive or Gram negative. This is the initial step that must be taken before any other lab procedure may continue on to ensure the purity is present‚ the arrangement of the cells‚ and the shape the cell has. The staining of the cell starts off with using the primary stain‚ Crystal Violet which is a purple color‚ to begin

[either flexneri or sonnei‚ we used both in our lab during the semester]. Procedure {and observations}: Observe bacterial colony morphology. {Colonies are large‚ beige or cream-colored‚ with irregular borders.} Prepare two slides for gram staining and viewing under a microscope. {Either my gram-stain slides were bad or the microscopes I chose for viewing were not good. No bacteria were found under the microscope.} Prepare another gram stain of the unknown bacteria. {Gram-positive‚ coccus

The Charge/Mass (e/m) Ratio of the Electron PHYS 0212: Introduction to Laboratory Physics Fall 2012 Abstract The experiment conducted demonstrated correlation between the charge and mass of an electron and the behavior of magnetic fields. The lab was divided into four parts. The first three parts were conducted with a compass that was used to locate the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet‚ a solenoid and then a pair of Helmholtz coils. As a result of these trials‚ our observations found

Organic Chemistry II Lab 9 Fermentation of a Carbohydrate: Ethanol from Sucrose * Introduction Ethanol is one of the oldest alcohols and also the least toxic one. Industrially‚ ethanol is made most economically by hydration of ethylene. However‚ ethanol that is intended for human consumption must‚ by law‚ be prepared by fermentation. By either method‚ ethanol‚ of course‚ has the same formula‚ structure‚ and properties. The fermentation takes place with the assistance of enzymes from yeast
