HOW TO WRITE AN UNKNOWN LAB REPORT IN MICROBIOLOGY GENERAL 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.

1. In the following reaction‚ which of the following is an example of a substrate? Lactase Lactose → Glucose + Galactose a. Lactose 2. During photosynthesis‚ plants use light energy to synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide. However‚ plants do not use up energy during photosynthesis; they merely convert it from light energy to chemical energy. This is an illustration of: a. The first law of thermodynamics 3. Which would be an example of catalyst in action? a. A protein converting glucose

Microbiology Laboratory Report Identification of Unknown Bacteria 03/10/05- 04/01/05 Authors: Richard Hendricks‚ Jessica Prebish; NMU Abstract: Broth culture 16 was randomly selected by our group and subjected to qualitative tests for taxonomic identification. The culture did appear homogenous throughout the testing period and is currently retained by Northern Michigan University’s department of Microbiology. We suggest that culture 16 is an example of Escherichia coli. Background: Techniques

FAILURE TO THRIVE INTRODUCTION Failure to thrive (FTT) is a medical term used in both pediatric and adult human medicine. it covers poor physical growth of any cause and does not imply abnormal intellectual‚ social‚ or emotional development‚ although of course it can subsequently be a cause of such pathologies. As written in Organon section -3 ‘’If the physician clearly perceives what is to be cured in disease‚ that is to say‚ in every individual case of the disease………’’.Here Hahnemann said ‘’perceive’’

Case Study Luke Tudor 09 Dec 2009 Microbiology‚ Vectors and Control DMS1515 Concerns have been raised about the safety of drinking water being provided for a large temporary community. The area is remote‚ rural‚ without proper sanitation and there are limited multipurpose water resources How could you ascertain the safety of the water? Potable water is fit for consumption by humans and other animals. Water may be naturally potable‚ as is the case with pristine

with the production of acid a. Differentiation is made on the basis of differences in carbohydrate fermentation patterns and hydrogen sulfide production. To facilitate observation of carbohydrate utilization patterns- TSI agar slants contain lactose and sucrose (1%) concentrations and glucose (0.1%) concentration which permits detection of the utilization of this substrate only. The acid base indicator phenol red- also incorporated to detect carbohydrate fermentation that is indicated by a

evolved than MgSO₄. In the second set-up‚ six Smith fermentation tubes were used each containing different 15mL solution (starch‚ lactose‚ sucrose‚ glucose‚ fructose or distilled H₂O). the tubes were then added with 15 mL distilled H2O and 15 mL 10% yeast suspension. Here‚ results show that fructose had the highest rate of respiration followed by glucose‚ sucrose‚ lactose‚ starch and H₂O. Thus‚ simpler substrate would mean higher rate of respiration. INTRODUCTION We all need life to survive. Life

is used to differentiate between lactose fermenting gram negative bacteria based on their acid production. This test was performed by first dividing the EMB plate into four quadrants and each quadrant was labeled corresponding to the four unknown microorganism and using aseptic technique each quadrant was inoculated with bacterial cultures and incubated at 37 degrees Celsius. After few days later the experimental plate was compared to the control plate for lactose fermentation. Of the four

Seasonal changes of buffalo colostrum: physicochemical parameters‚ fatty acids and cholesterol variation Abstract Background Colostrum has many beneficial effects on newborns due to its main compounds (proteins‚ fats‚ lactose‚ essential fatty acids‚ amino acids) as well as protective antibodies that confer to the body. The buffaloes are the second important species for milk production in the world after cows. The importance of the species is also conferred by a longer longevity‚ high dry content
