Introduction The purpose of this lab was to explore the properties of an unknown compound. An unknown was given and a cation flame test and anion test was performed to determine the identity of the compound. Once the identity was determined‚ the properties were explored. Experimental To determine the cation of the compound‚ a cation flame test was performed. A bunsen burner was lit until a medium blue flame was burning. The given unknown was scooped onto a nichrome wire loop. The wire was held

Jennifer Hauss March 4‚ 2015 Bacterial Transformation Lab Report Introduction In this lab‚ the goal was to transform the bacteria e-coli to glow in the dark (or under a black light). Four plates were set up with agar in them for the bacteria to feed on and grow. Changes were then made to the bacteria. One plate was the control plate‚ having only the LB or agar for the bacteria and negative pGLO‚ which is the liquid not containing the plasmid. This is the plate that was compared with the three

Lab: Sampling Bacteria Purpose: Refer to handout sheet. Materials: Refer to handout sheet. Procedure: Refer to handout sheet. Pre-Lab Questions: 1. Why is one dish being reserved for the class as a "control"? Having a controlled variable is important in order to be able to look at what the bacteria would look like if it hadn’t been contaminated and just left as agar. Having a sample of agar that wasnt exposed to any bacteria will provide a clear picutre of what grew on the agar

The unknown soda ash from experiment 3 was used‚ to determine the weight for each trial we used the equation of (M of HCl) x (18 ml x 105.99) / (10 x 2 x Na2CO3 ). Which was equal to (0.01472 M) x ((18 mL X 105.99)(10 x 2 X 2.428 % )= 0.6 g. To start we had to rinse the beakers‚ electrode and the stirring bar with diluted water. The sample we needed was weighted to the closest 0.1 mg which we got was 0.3 for the first trial. The sample was transferred to a 250 mL beaker and dissolved in 70 mL of

Identification of Unknown Report Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to determine the identity of an unknown bacteria slant culture. The unknown was identified using differential tests to determine its metabolic and morphology characteristics. Results from the differential tests indicated that unknown culture 5 is Staphylococcus aureus. Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to determine the identity of an unknown bacteria slant culture using a series of differential tests. The tests

Bacteria‚ such as Vibrio natriegens‚ are single cellular‚ microscopic microorganisms. Bacteria grow by cell division‚ mainly by a process called binary fission‚ where two cells arise from one single cell (Madigan et al.‚ 2015). In bacteria such as Vibrio natriegens‚ who are curved-rod shaped microorganisms‚ they elongate to almost twice their own size and form a dividing wall in which splits the single cell into two daughter cells (Madigan et al.‚ 2015). There are four phases to bacterial cell growth:

Introduction: Identification of bacteria is significant because they are not only beneficial but potentially hazardous as well. The identification of bacteria can lead to breakthroughs in healthcare regarding treatment of old and new diseases alike. In addition‚ Identifying bacteria can furthermore be utilized in various other areas to 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 producing certain foods
