Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to use staining techniques and biochemical testing to identify an unknown bacteria using Bergey’s manual. Bergey’s manual of Systematic Bacteriology is a dichotomous key primarily used to identify a bacterial species. Biochemical tests are used to differentiate different species of bacteria. These tests are effective in determining the characteristics of the microbe being tested. Such characteristics include citrate utilization‚ gelatin hydrolysis‚ nitrate

EFFECT OF pH LEVEL ON THE ENZYME ACTIVITY OF INVERTASE John Dale Cruz‚ Michael Ray Dela Cruz‚ Karen Angelica Domalaon‚ Abegail Dulay‚ Shirley Ann Felipe Group 5 2C Medical Technology Biochemistry Laboratory ABSTRACT Invertase is a type of enzyme‚ a natural catalytic agent for biochemical reactions‚ can be obtained in Baker’s Yeast. Determination of the effect of pH on invertase activity is the primary objective of the experiment. Dinitrosalicyclic acid (DNS) Assay method is utilized to monitor

are specific in their match of substrates they will breakdown – similar to a key and its lock. Since amylase is the only enzyme that breaks down starch‚ the procedure was effective and gave clear results of sugar produced. With help from the stain reagent benzoic acid – I visibly saw the production of sugar molecules. However‚ I was only able to determine which of the Tubes experimented had the most or least sugar present‚ by color intensity. By operating a spectrophotometer‚ I was able to create a

over from other steps. Every other reagent has a higher melting point‚ so it makes sense that it would be higher if the product wasn’t pure enough. They most likely contaminated the sample during the suction filtration‚ meaning that the crystals didn’t dry long enough. When water was supposed to be added drop – wise to make the solution cloudy‚ the solution was already cloudy‚ so the problem was evident there.

Formaldehyde as a model protein crosslinking reagent. Understanding protein-protein interactions is becoming a vital study for application in the development of new age pharmaceuticals and utilization in diagnostic models. The overall aim is to gain an insight into the function and role of individual proteins with specific interest on how they react in cells‚ (Toews et al. 2008). The biopharma industry in Ireland is becoming a booming success for the economy therefore a complete understanding of

grams CO2 is formed? How many molecules of H2O are formed? If 6.75 moles of O2 and 3.25 moles C3H8 were combined‚ how many grams H2O will be produced? Which is the limiting reagent? If 100 grams each of O2 and C3H8 were combined‚ how many moles CO2 will be produced? Which is the excess reagent? How much excess reagent will be left unreacted? Calculate the theoretical yield‚ potassium chloride produced from the reaction of 2.56 g of K and 3.85 g Cl2. If an actual experiment produces 3.81 g

In this practical the aim was to determine the concentration of Na2CO3 in a standard solution‚ by using Hydrochloric acid to neutralise it. This experiment involved using distilled water to dissolve the sodium carbonate until 250 ml of solution were made. I had to calculate‚ from the information provided‚ how much sodium carbonate to use in the making of the solution. Using the volume and concentration of the solution‚ I was able to calculate the moles of the solution (concentration x volume). Using

the Na2SO4‚ was isolated by using heat to boil off the water it with. Procedures: The materials used in the investigation were test tubes‚ a porcelain well‚ a centrifuge‚ a Bunsen burner‚ and reagents to be used for synthesis of four compounds. The compound were Na2SO4‚ AgCl‚ BaSO4‚ and ZN(OH)2. The reagents used to synthesize these compounds were NaOH‚ H2SO4‚ BaCl2‚ Zn(NO3)2‚ AgNO3‚ and HCl‚ all .1M concentrations in aqueous solution. The groups then identified the isolation method to be used on
