INTRODUCTION This scientific report is to discuss the results of an experiment being conducted on the effect that antibiotics have on the growth of bacteria. This will be done through the use of microbiology. Microbiology is a science in the department of biology‚ particularly microorganisms. These include; bacterium‚ fungi‚ protozoa‚ algae and viruses. This is an important subject to study as microorganisms can be found everywhere‚ covering all matters of different surfaces even including the human

Unknown Lab Report Unknown Organism #6 Ann Le (Phuoc) May 6‚ 2010 Dr. Carrington Microbiology Lab- MW 12:50 Le 1 I. Introduction My unknown organism #6 is Morganella morganii‚ which is a gram-negative bacillus rods commonly found in the environment and also in the intestinal tracts of humans‚ mammals‚ and reptiles as a normal flora. (3‚ 5) This bacterium Morganella morganii‚ was first discovered in the 1906 by a British bacteriologist named H. de R. Morgan. (2) Despite its wide

epidermidis”‚ S. epidermidis is described as “gram-positive cocci bacteria that are part of the normal flora on the skin and nasal passages.” The article goes on to say that the species was originally named Staphylococcus Albus by microbiologist Rosenback in 1884. When viewed under a microscope S. epidermidis will appear in chains‚ pairs‚ or grape-like clusters (Horak 1). Taxonomically‚ the species S. epidermidis falls in the genus Staphylococcus‚ which is in the bacterial family Staphylococcaceae. S. epidermidis

Name: Danielle Title: Unknown Lab Report Introduction: 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. The experiment was done by applying methods in order to identify an unknown bacterium. An unknown bacterium was handed out by Dr. Honer. The appropriate tests were prepared and applied. The

Sp2012 (Set all of your margins to ½”) Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to help you become a little familiar with some of the tests that can be typically performed in a clinical or research lab facility. These tests may help in determining a particular pathogen’s growth needs. There are several sections to this lab. Find each section and complete the “Preparing for Class” sections. Preparing for class - Day 1 Read in your lab manual about the following agar mediums: Blood Agar (pg 168)‚ EMB

Unknown Lab Report #1 Unknown #1 April 25‚ 2012 Microbiology Spring 2012 MCB2010C Unknown #1 Introduction Identity of a microorganism has proven to be very significant. Doing so can help identify diseases and created treatment and cures for such diseases. As a result‚ various laboratory tests were performed to an unknown microbe (Unknown #1) found in the water of a nearby pond. By identify the microbe‚ the safety of the water will be known to those around it. Materials and Methods

In the unknown identification labs‚ we have identified our unknown as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is Gram negative and rod shaped that we found to be motile in the lab. Our strain of P. aeruginosa formed colonies that were round in shape and had scalloped margins on nutrient agar. On our agar slant‚ the P. aeruginosa colonies had a filiform appearance on the edges. I think we correctly identified our unknown as P. aeruginosa because we performed several different tests‚ eleven

Antony R 9:00Am-11Am Unknown Number 94 Unknown Results Streptococcus salivarius The first step in my unknown identification was to carry out a gram stain to observe the cell shape and arrangement. My unknown turned out to be gram positive bacteria cocci shaped with long chain cell arrangement. The unknown was gram positive because the cells stained blue-violet ‚this indicate that my unknown has ability to retain crystal violet-iodine after alcohol application on the cells which is a gram

Ans: The signs and symptoms the young graduate student presented‚ show evidence of Lyme disease. 2. What is the environmental pathway for the vector of this disease? Ans: The environmental pathway for the vector of this disease would be a forested habitat. The black-legged tick or the deer tick is the principle vector of this disease (Lyme

species of bacteria look similar under the microscope and also have the same staining results (ex. Gram stain). To be able to differentiate between the different species‚ one can look at the metabolic differences (fermentation)‚ as well as the environmental condition differences (temperature‚ pH‚ oxygen requirements). Being able to manipulate these conditions in a controlled environment can help to correctly identify the exact bacteria. Different media can be used to culture and identify bacteria. Some
