completed in order to identify this unknown sample. First‚ the plate was analyzed for its hemolysis characteristics. Afterwards‚ a Gram stain was performed from a sample of the agar plate and the slide was viewed under the microscope. Once‚ the microscopic visual was captured‚ a catalase test followed. Next‚ for further data‚ MSA results were recorded‚ along with antibiotic observations of demo plates. Lastly‚ with the information gathered‚ it was identified that the unknown sample was Streptococcus salivarius

Autumn White Biology 258-05 November 26‚ 2012 Unknown #19 Enterbacteriaceae Enterobacter aerogenes ABSTRACT The objective of this report was to identify an unknown microorganism through several differential media tests. Over the course of a couple weeks‚ ten tests were performed. First‚ a gram stain was performed‚ indicating the bacterium was gram negative. An aerotolerance test determined that the bacterium was a facultative anaerobe. Next‚ a negative result in the

a. The bacteria that causes botulism are found in soil‚ water‚ animal guts and dung. When the spores exposed to low oxygen and certain temperature‚ they produce botulinum toxin‚ able to germinate‚ metabolize‚ food sources through an aerobic respiration to produce toxin. The toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine from motor nerve endings causing paralysis symptoms. The botulism either food born‚ eating contaminated home-canned foods where the fermentation takes place. or through abrasion in the

Halobacterium Lab Investigation Mason Pirio 12/12/13 Period 5 Table Group 3 PS 2- Experiment Design PS 3- Conclusion Writing PS 13- Nitrogen Cycle Abstract- In this experiment we tested to see how well halobacterium grows in different levels of salinity. We found out that the higher salinity in the growth medium the better the halobacterium grows. Background Information- Halobacterium is a bacteria that is found in the great salt lake. Halobacterium is an extremeophile which means it thrives

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

substance. In this lab the densities of unknown irregularly shaped solids and liquids was determined. Accuracy and precision of the results will be estimated‚ and attention will be paid to the correct use of the significant figures. The experiment approach that will be used will tell the mass and volume of the metal and liquid determined by measuring these two quantities with a graduated cylinder and biuret. Procedure: a) The density of metals First I obtained a quantity of unknown metal. Recording

Citrate Test: Some bacteria can use citrate as a source of carbon. To test if the unknown bacteria uses citrate as a source of carbon‚ Simmon’s citrate agar was used as the medium on which the bacteria was grown. The Simmon’s citrate agar consists of sodium citrate as the source of carbon‚ ammonium dihydrogen phosphate as the source of nitrogen along with pH indicator such as bromothymol blue. Procedure: The Citratase activity was detected by inoculating the unknown bacteria on the slant surface
