Labset Five Worksheet 1. List five environments where you are likely to find microbial growth: Lakes‚ soil‚ oceans‚ tundras‚ deserts 2. How do microbes contribute to soil fertility? The decomposition that microbes take part in help release mineral nutrients‚ such as potassium and nitrogen‚ from dead organic matter and allowing primary producers the nutritional access. They also produce CO2 and CH4 to release into the soil and atmosphere. 3. Describe the growth you observed in each of your

ASEPTIC TECHNIQUES AND SOURCES OF MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION. Introduction The spread of infections has come to a point where it has become catastrophic. Aseptic technique is the method used to prevent contamination of infections. It is widely used in hospitals‚ pharmacy‚ and pharmaceutical industries and in laboratories. Different establishments have come up with more ways to improve infection control. In hospitals health care acquired infections are costing the NHS £1 Billion a year and

Conclusion: (Identity‚ % error‚ other evidence‚ how to improve) The identity of Unknown A is the compound cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate (CoCl₂•6H₂O).This is justified by the similarities in color of red-purple crystal like grains‚ which is significant in identifying the product out of the eight suggested identities. Only two had similar characteristics which were CoCl₂•6H₂O and CoSO₄•6H₂O. Before unknown A was heated‚ there was a notable common physical property of the substance being red crystal

Unable to read the Gram Stain at first it was later confirmed that Unknown #7 was a gram negative bacteria. When introduced to Starch Unknown #7 produced no zone of clearing showing that it did not contain the enzyme amylase. When introduced to the Lipid Unknown #7 did produce a zone of clearing indicating that it did contain the enzyme lipase. When introduced to Casein Unknown #7 produced no zone of clearing indicating that it did not contain the enzyme protease. When streaked onto the Gelatin‚

Experiment H: Identification of an Unknown Organic Compound The objective of this lab was straightforward. We were given an unknown compound and we were to perform an IR spectroscopy and as well as NMR spectroscopy. With the IR spectroscopy‚ I was able to name the functional groups I have on my compound and further confirmed my assumptions by looking at the NMR spectroscopy after. The unknown number I was given was number 203. The molecular weight of the compound was 121. From the molecular weight

However‚ the original manufacturer‚ Kaufmann Ltd.‚ has gone out of business‚ and specifications for the part are unavailable. The purpose of this experiment‚ performed by Ryan Nelson‚ Peter Glascor‚ Eric Flowr was to determine the identity of the unknown polymer by comparing its properties to properties of other known polymers. Most likely‚ the part is one of the five following polymers: polyethylene‚ polypropylene‚ polystyrene‚ polycarbonate‚ poly(vinyl chloride). These are all extremely common
