Unknown Bacteria Lab Report Introduction The purpose to this lab was to identify an unknown bacteria from a mixed culture provided to us by our instructor. 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 organism in question and how the bacteria function. Over a two week period‚ eight prepared types of test media were provided to identify

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

There are many reasons for identifying an unknown bacterium. The reasons range from medical purposes‚ such as determining if the unknown could cause ailments in living things or knowing what microorganisms are needed to make antibiotics to other purposes such as knowing the exact microorganism has to be used to make certain foods. This experiment was done by applying methods in order to identify an unknown bacterium. An unknown bacterium was handed out by the lab instructor. The methods that
