Unknown Lab Report Unknown Organism #6 Ann Le (Phuoc) May 6‚ 2010 Dr. Carrington Microbiology Lab- MW 12:50 Le 1 I. Introduction My unknown organism #6 is Morganella morganii‚ which is a gram-negative bacillus rods commonly found in the environment and also in the intestinal tracts of humans‚ mammals‚ and reptiles as a normal flora. (3‚ 5) This bacterium Morganella morganii‚ was first discovered in the 1906 by a British bacteriologist named H. de R. Morgan. (2) Despite its wide

the acyl-enzyme is then hydrolysed by nucleophilic attack of serine on the peptide carbonyl group‚ collapse of the tetrahedral intermediate and the release of the amine component. Histidine 57 then acts as a general acid catalyst and draws a proton away from the water molecule. The OH- ion then attacks the carbonyl carbon atom of the acyl group which forms another tetrahedral intermediate which breaks down to form the carboxylic acid product. The release of this acid then frees up the enzyme to continue

a variety of foods. These foods are required for energy and human growth. Proteins are a diverse group of macromolecules with many different functions (Mbuthia‚ 2012). Many are structural components of bone‚ muscle‚ hair‚ tissue‚ etc. Others are enzymes that speed up cellular reactions. All proteins are made up of amino acids (Johnson‚ 2010). The purpose of this experiment is to determine whether peptide bonds are present in various food substances. The color violet will indicate the presence of

Abstract This lab’s purpose was to test the patterns of percolation in various places. This lab tested how soil would absorb water based on different places. Distance from a group of trees‚ distance from a swamp‚ and different types of soil were tested. From the results collected‚ you can not prove‚ but you can infer that the ability to absorb increases as you go farther away from a swamp‚ and a group of trees. The ability to absorb also increases based on how much silt is in soil. Introduction

EXPERIMENT NO. 1 INTRODUCTION TO LAB INSTRUMENTS. 1. BREADBOARD We should be familiar to the following things about a breadboard: * What is a breadboard and what is it used for? * How does it work? * Setting Up. * Limitations. What is a breadboard and what is it used for? A breadboard (or protoboard) is usually a construction base for prototyping of electronics. The term "breadboard" is commonly used to refer to a solderless breadboard (plugboard). It was designed by

Microscope lab report Introduction Microscope is a tool used to enlarge images of small objects that are hard to study with bare eyes. The compound light microscope‚ which is going to be used in this lab activity‚ is an instrument with two lenses and various knobs to focus the image. In this lab‚ we will learn about the proper use and handling of the microscope. Objectives: •Demonstrate the appropriate procedures used while using the compound light microscope correctly. •Make and use a wet mount

into light (Branchini‚ 2008). In the fireflies case the reaction involves the enzyme luciferase which lights up a lantern-like mechanism under the tip the wings and attached to the end of the body of the firefly. It is presumed that the firefly uses the lantern to attract a mate. The goal in this experiment was to test the effect of adenosine triphosphate in lighting the firefly’s lantern in temperature effects‚ pH effects‚ and salt effect. Materials and Methods Powdered firefly lanterns
