Lahela Correa 12/08/2009 Microbiology 140 Matthew Tuthill Unknown Lab Report Introduction There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from knowing the causative agent of a disease in a patient‚ so as to know how it can be treated‚ to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain foods or antibiotics. This study was done by applying all of the methods that I have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification

Unknown Report Emily Juhl Section – 3 April 15‚ 2013 Unknown #8 Family: Enterobacteriaceae Genus: Serratia Species: Marcescens Abstract Microorganisms are constantly finding ways to resists to antibiotics. For this reason‚ it is important to test and observe unknown organisms in the lab to continually improve the health and well being of society. The objective of this report was to first isolate a single colony of an unknown culture on a LB agar plate. From
Premium Microbiology Bacteria Gram staining
Introduction Gram staining was developed by Christian Gram in the 1800’s‚ a Danish bacteriologist. (Smith and Hussey‚ 2005) It was the first differential staining technique and most common used in microbiology. Furthermore‚ bacteria are transparent and cannot be seen through the microscope. For that reason‚ Gram staining is an important tool for distinguishing between two main types of bacteria Gram-positive and Gram-negative. The Gram stain differentiates the Gram positive and gram-negative on the basis

Purpose: To identify an unknown bacterial specimen using basic laboratory technique and biochemical tests. The unknown bacteria will be one of the following: Enterococcus faecalis‚ Staphylococcus saprophyticus‚ Escherichia coli‚ Enterobacter aerogenes‚ Proteus vulgaris‚ Salmonella [I assume typhimurium]‚ or Shigella [either flexneri or sonnei‚ we used both in our lab during the semester]. Procedure {and observations}: Observe bacterial colony morphology. {Colonies are large‚ beige or

Unknown Lab Report April 25th‚ 2006 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures

In the unknown identification labs‚ we have identified our unknown as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is Gram negative and rod shaped that we found to be motile in the lab. Our strain of P. aeruginosa formed colonies that were round in shape and had scalloped margins on nutrient agar. On our agar slant‚ the P. aeruginosa colonies had a filiform appearance on the edges. I think we correctly identified our unknown as P. aeruginosa because we performed several different tests‚ eleven

Tanti Lim Thurs AM Unknown Project I. Introduction The purpose to this lab was to isolate and identify two unknown bacteria from a mixed culture provided to us. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been instructed on thus far in microbiology laboratory class. Each test performed‚ provided us with some key information about the unknown microbes in question . The identification of unknown bacteria is a time honored part of microbiology courses. It will challenge

techniques for identifying bacteria. Learning how to gram stain‚ use specific media such as MacConkey agar‚ and test antibiotics to see which antibiotic would react best against a specific organism. All these techniques helped me prepare for the final lab‚ identification of an unknown bacterium. For the final lab‚ I received the organism “6A”. To start identifying this organism‚ I did a gram-stain to identify if the organism is gram positive or negative. I created two slides to ensure that I did the stain

Bio Lab Report Title: Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive contamination in yogurt. Introduction: There is bacteria that is beneficial and harmful in the human. Yogurt was choosed to be the best example that contains this bacteria. What happens to be the difference between these two types of bacteria‚ and how are they harmful? The bacteria is considered “Gram-Negative‚” and the substance is considered contaminated when there is more negative bacteria than positive bacteria. This will prove or disapprove
