Maura Gongora 12th December‚ 2014 MCB 3020L- Section 018 Unknown #16 Abstract This report contains the background information on gram positive and gram negative bacteria‚ which will aid in understanding the use of specific laboratory experiments to distinguish between the two types of bacteria. Included are the materials and methods used to identify the gram positive and gram negative bacteria and methods which also differentiate between microbes of each group. The implications of the methods of

colorless colonies. Multiple medical experiments are credited towards transformation‚ especially ones involving cancer and the transformation of normal cells to neoplastic and cancerous cells. Introduction The general purpose of the Transformation Lab was to observe the difference in bacterial growth under differing media conditions to help understand the process of transformation and how it contributes to the life of living organisms. "Transformation" is what occurs when a cell receives and expresses

DENSITY AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY Materials and Methods Part 1: Density of an Unknown Solid 1. We first were asked from our laboratory instructor to attain an unknown solid and were asked to note down the number of the solid. 2. Determine the mass of the unknown solid to the nearest 0.001 g and record it in the data table in the back of the laboratory workbook. 3. Then we determined the volume of the unknown solid by water displacement. We first filled a 100mL graduated cylinder about

Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests‚ and my unknown bacteria is #17. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures. The differential tests

Introduction: During this unknown lab report various test were performed to differentiate microbes from each other and to compare metabolic and biochemical process. The gram stain distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria based on the composition of the cell wall. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. Gram positive bacteria stain violet due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan

cheese. Lactic acid bacteria(LAB)‚ a bacteria that can be found in the production of cheese‚ its stress gene was investigated in the experiment by using various biochemical and genetic techniques to identify and extract. The characterisation of the strain illustrates how identification of strains differ using different methods‚ such as gram stain and 16s rRNA screening. After the characterisation‚ the stress gene isolation assist the further understanding of the gene on LAB be giving different stress

Lab Report Microbiology Introduction Bacteria can be found almost anywhere. For human life‚ some help us‚ some hurt us‚ and others are neutral. It is now known that good bacteria‚ or normal microflora‚ can reach 1014 microbial cells. This is far more than the 1013 cells that make up the human body (Tannock‚ 1995). The total number of bacteria on Earth is estimated to be around 4-6 x 1030 (Horner-Devine‚ 2004). It is important to know the extent of bacteria‚ how they live‚ and how they are

Lab Report 1 Introduction: Proper chemical formulas entitle many challenges such as the Law of Multiple proportions that states that there may be more than one plausible mole ratio for the elements in that compound. However if we determine the mass of each element in the compound we will be able to get the true chemical formula. In this experiment‚ we used the law of definite proportions to find the chemical formula for a hydrated compound containing copper‚ chlorine‚ and water molecules

Acid Base Titration Purpose: The purpose is to calculate the molarity of a NaOH solution by titrating the base with 5mL of standard HCl solution in each trial. By adding the base with unknown molarity to the acid with 0.10M the molarity of NaOH can be calculated. The base‚ NaOH‚ helps bring the pH of the acid‚ HCl‚ closer to seven‚ which neutralizes it. When using the buret the amount of NaOH used is able to be determined. Then by writing a balanced chemical equation and using the titration
