Determining the Unknown Bacteria #9 Rachel Judecki July 5‚ 2011 2. Introduction: Each student was given unknown bacteria and was instructed to perform a variety of experimental tests that would help to identify their bacteria. During the process of identification‚ the unknown bacteria was added to many different testing medias using aseptic technique. They are as follows: lactose fermentation on eosin methylene blue (EMB)‚ TSI (Triple Sugar Iron agar)‚ Phenol red sucrose‚ the SIM test‚ H2S by

Grams staining method and reliability of this method. According to me‚ Grams staining process is a simple technique that assists in recognition of etiological agent and therefore can be called as one of the most significant staining practices in microbiology. Though‚ Gram is concerned that the staining process developed by him is imperfect because not all bacteria can be stained by it‚ but in my opinion‚ when we pour ethanol over the slide to wash away the dye then only definite bacteria can retain

genus and species of bacteria are biological tests‚ including the determination of the types of nutrients a cell can use‚ the products of its metabolism‚ and the response to specific chemicals. Other factors that can assist in identification of bacteria are their ecological habitats and more advanced methods such as genetic and molecular composition. Using various techniques one is able to distinguish and ultimately assign then genus and species of the unknown bacteria. Methods: Gram Staining: The

The dispute between the foundation of intelligence and the reliability of IQ tests has always been a controversy in this modern society. The disparity over the understanding of intelligence has also led to much conflicts and struggles on how to measure one’s ability to acquire knowledge and reasoning. In Kevin Warwick’s “Into the Unknown‚” he argues that instead of measuring intelligence in a single dimensional value‚ difference aspects like culture and values should be taken into considerations

Unknown Lab Report Dr. Nathan Cahoone Microbiology 204 December 9‚ 2010 Introduction There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The study and test was done by applying all of the methods that have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification of an unknown bacterium which I was using unknown #25. Results Unknown #25 had the following morphology on a streak plate: medium sized butyrous cream colored colony. Gram-staining was utilized
