31 October 2011 Identification and observations of Citrobacter Freundii Introduction Citrobacter Freundii is a species of bacteria that can be potentially harmful to humans. It is known to cause meningitis by protruding into the brain and replicating itself (1). The Citrobacter species has also been found as a cause of some urinary tract infections‚ diarrhea‚ and even gastrointestinal diseases and symptoms (3). C. Freundii can be located in a wide variety of soils and water (3). Lastly‚ it is

DPIP and observing its color change (Stegenga 24-8). In class‚ we observed this happening using a lamp and a spectrophotometer to measure the amount of light being transmitted through a test tube. Chloroplasts were placed into test tubes along with water‚ DPIP‚ and a buffer to neutralize the pH of the solution‚ and then placed under a lamp with a standard 40-watt light bulb. One test tube was used to calibrate the spectrophotometer so that each transmittance reading would be

Ph Lab Report Bryon Kim 123013 B(2) Biology Background information/Research PH paper (litmus paper) determines how acidic or how basic a substance is. The paper changes color accordingly to color code on the pH scale. The pH scale starts from 0 to 14. The lower the number the more acidic it is. Zero is the most acidic‚ and 14 is the most basic while 7 is the neutral number for example water. Examples of an acid is lemon juice or multi purpose cleaner. Examples of a basic substance is shampoo or liquid soap

A company has specified that the acceptable size of a knob that is to be produced is (0.140 ± 0.003) inches. In this lab‚ the dimensions of the knobs produced in one day are tested for discrepancy in order to pass control testing. This lab also reports the probability that knobs with the acceptable dimension will be produced. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using Microsoft Excel‚ a histogram was created displaying the three documented dimensions of 15 batches of knobs. This histogram was obtained in order

Question: What antibiotics work best in preventing E. coli k12 from growing; amoxicillin‚ ampicillin‚ or ciprofloxacin? Hypothesis: If ciprofloxacin‚ an antibiotic‚ is added to petri dishes covered in live bacteria and left to sit for four to six days in an incubator at 37 degrees Celsius‚ then the petri dishes containing ciprofloxacin will have the largest zone of inhibition out of all of the other antibiotics tested because research shows that ciprofloxacin in one of the strongest antibiotic currently

Transpiration Formal Lab Report By Jessica Tran Introduction When water is transported from the roots to the mesophyll cells in the leaves‚ it is evaporates out the stomates‚ called transpiration‚ to create a lower osmotic potential. Osmotic potential is the part of the water potential of a tissue that results from the presence of solute particles. Even though the stomates open to release water‚ it also brings in carbon dioxide to produce sugar and oxygen through a process of photosynthesis

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 have been learned so far in identifying bacteria were applied to this unknown. Procedures were followed as stated in the lab manual and biochemical test handouts. The first procedure that was done was a gram stain followed by a streak of the unknown on a TSA plate in order to determine the gram

University of Texas at Tyler Lab 3C: Purification of L-Lactate Dehydrogenase By Affinity Chromatography on Cibacron-Blue Sepharose David Alexander 10-15-2014 Dr. Black Chem 4135.001 Abstract: Like the previous experiments‚ the ultimate goal of this lab was to purify the enzyme sample. However‚ this is the last lab for purification and high level techniques of purification were employed to achieve this. Dialysis was used first‚ lowering the small-molecule concentration within the sample. Finally

1. Title: The Process of 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
