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

Cells are extremely tiny organisms that carry out all of the functions of life inside a thin layer of “skin” called (unimaginatively) the CELL MEMBRANE
