INTRODUCTION Microorganisms such as bacteria‚ fungus‚ mold‚ and yeast are present and common in almost every environment on earth. The normally microscopic organisms can easily be seen using differing types of agar‚ which creates an ideal environment for the organisms to form colonies‚ which are groups of hundreds of organisms that can be seen with the naked eye. In order to see individual microorganisms‚ it is necessary to use the magnification of a high-powered microscope. These techniques

Microbes or microorganisms are minute living things that individually are too small to be seen with the naked eye. There are several benefits of microorganisms; in fact‚ most microbes are beneficial‚ only a minute percentage of microbes are hazardous or can cause disease (J. Black‚ 2012). The following are benefits of microbiology: 1. Certain microbes play important roles in photosynthesis thereby generating food and oxygen which is critical to life. 2. Microbes have great applications in the food

Santos Ralph Reyes LBYMATB V26B Report Title Of Activity: Yogurt Making Date Performed: October 4‚ 2012 I. Introduction Last October 4‚ the group performed an activity that involved making our own yogurt. The group prepared the materials and followed the procedures to make the said yogurt. In the activity paper that was given‚ it dictated that during the yogurt making process‚ the bacteria underwent fermentation. “Fermentation is any process where microorganisms use an external food source for

LAB Report #3 Introduction: In this lab we have focus on Isolation of bacteria from environment. Microorganisms are found throughout the environment: in the air and water; on the surface of any object such as clothes‚ walls‚ furniture; in soil and dust; and on and in our own bodies (skin and mucous membranes). In order to demonstrate the ubiquity and diversity of microbes in the environment‚ samples from immediate areas of the environment and/or from your body will be obtained and cultured

Sarah Helms Thursday/ 11:15am #1 Escherichia coli There are many types of microorganisms and ways to treat each one. Knowing the differences of each is vital to treat a patient correctly. The purpose of this report is to explain the process and steps used to identify a certain microorganism referred to as the unknown. Materials and Methods A test tube with an unknown microorganism will be retrieved. Once the test tube is retrieved‚ a steak for isolation will be completed in order to produce

CHM1032L pre/post lab instructions Preparation is a key to success in this lab. For this reason‚ you are required to thoroughly read through the experiment information presented in the lab manual‚ and complete a pre-lab for each experiment you do. The prelab must be completed prior to the day of the experiment. Each Friday I will ask to see your completed prelab before I allow you to enter the lab. If you have not finished the pre-lab‚ I will not allow you to enter the lab and you will receive

Lab report is one way we used during of after an experiment in a laboratory to subtly record and discuss the experiment. During a lab‚ we sometimes can observe only the physical part of the experiment‚ or may be some visible chemical changes. These changes indicate that the experiment we do is successful or not. However‚ in order to understand and achieve more from just simply doing the experiment‚ we write lab report to more profoundly understand the internal meanings of the experiment we do‚ and

Chem 105 Guide to the Formal Laboratory Report The purpose of a formal report is to communicate effectively to another person the goal‚ procedure‚ data analysis method‚ and results of your laboratory work. The report is divided into several well-defined sections. Each section must be present in a complete report. To earn an outcome point for the laboratory report‚ a student must submit a formal lab report that earns a score of at least 90/100. Each error (factual‚ grammatical‚ typographical
