Identification of Unknown Report Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to determine the identity of an unknown bacteria slant culture. The unknown was identified using differential tests to determine its metabolic and morphology characteristics. Results from the differential tests indicated that unknown culture 5 is Staphylococcus aureus. Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to determine the identity of an unknown bacteria slant culture using a series of differential tests. The tests

Requirements for Unknown Report You have been provided a mixed culture (a gram positive and a gram negative) from which you should have isolated each type of organism‚ described their colonies on a TSA plate‚ and described their cellular morphology. You were graded on this activity separately. After you have isolated your gram negative in pure culture you will be subjecting it to various biochemical tests and making observations about the cells‚ colonies‚ growth temperature preferences‚ etc. in

The unknown soda ash from experiment 3 was used‚ to determine the weight for each trial we used the equation of (M of HCl) x (18 ml x 105.99) / (10 x 2 x Na2CO3 ). Which was equal to (0.01472 M) x ((18 mL X 105.99)(10 x 2 X 2.428 % )= 0.6 g. To start we had to rinse the beakers‚ electrode and the stirring bar with diluted water. The sample we needed was weighted to the closest 0.1 mg which we got was 0.3 for the first trial. The sample was transferred to a 250 mL beaker and dissolved in 70 mL of

This study was conducted by applying techniques and experiments cultured in microbiology lab for the identification of the unknown microorganism. Introduction: Identification of bacteria is significant because they are not only beneficial but potentially hazardous as well. The identification of bacteria can lead to breakthroughs in healthcare regarding
