They were a Gelatin Tube‚ MR Tube(Methyl Red)‚ VP Tube(Voges-Proskauer) Urea Tube‚ SIM Tube(Sulfur Indole Motility)‚ Citrate Slant‚ TSIA Slant (Triple Sugar Iron Agar) and Oxidase. Each one of the tubes and slants were inoculated using either the streaking or stabbing technique with one of the colonies from the growth of the unknown bacterium. The

UNKNOW BACTERIA LAB REPORT UNKNOWN 36 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria from a mixed culture. The reason for identification of unknown bacteria was to help students recognize different bacteria through different biochemical tests and characteristics. This is important in the medical field because identification of unknown bacteria can help treat a patient by knowing the contributing source of a disease. Also knowledge of different bacteria helped others

MICROBIOLOGY 3444-007 Gram Negative Unknown Unknown Bacteria #14 LeNaiya Kydd 4/2/2014 Abstract In order to be able to identify the unknown organism that was given to us‚ we had to conduct a number of different tests. These biological tests are used because they help us be able to identify the properties of the unknown we have and be able to compare our observed results with actual results of all the potential organisms. When all of the data of the test are put together it is easy to

from the Unknown 13B plate was used to inoculate the Tryptone Broth. After the broth was inoculated‚ it was placed in an incubator at 37ºC for 48 hours. A positive Indole test would have turned red after the addition of ten drops of Kovac’s Reagent to the culture‚ which indicated tryptophan was hydrolyzed (Pearson’s 2011). A negative Indole test would have turned yellow after the addition of ten drops of Kovac’s Reagent to the culture‚ which indicated that tryptophan‚ was not hydrolyzed (Pearson’s 2011)

Unknown reports in microbiology are written in scientific format. Scientific writing is written differently from other types of writing. The results of the exercise or experiment are what are being showcased‚ not the writing. The purpose of scientific writing is not to entertain‚ but to inform. The writing should be simple and easy to understand. There is a specific style that must be followed when writing scientific reports. Scientific writing is typically written in the passive voice. The

Results for P. vulgaris were negative for this test‚ but this bacteria can show positive or negative for the Ornithine‚ The lactose fermentation test (MAC) showed that the unknown was positive for lactose fermentation. Expected results showed that all bacteria should have been positive for this test. However‚ the test on P. vulgaris during the experiment was negative‚ defying expected results. The oxidase test
