The purpose of the unknown bacteria lab assignment was to select an unknown bacteria culture and‚ through a series of metabolic tests‚ identify which bacteria genus resided in the pure culture received. A nutrient broth inoculated with bacterial culture (numbered 45‚ henceforth referenced as U45) was selected and a streak plate was made to isolate a pure culture for use throughout the assignment. From the streak plate‚ several slides were made to determine the morphology of unknown 45. A Gram stain

Identification and Recreation of Unknown White Compound #643p November 13‚ 2012 INTRODUCTION: The identity of the unknown solid white compound is determined and verified through a series of tests which uncover physical and chemical properties necessary for identification. A new sample of the same compound is then created to further prove the accuracy of the identification. The compound must be identified in order to be used. For example‚ KCl is used in medicine‚ scientific applications‚ and

Morales‚ Marinel M. Dr. Annie Cu Gallardo BSE-Biological Sciences III-3 Microbiology (Lecture) Microbiology Written Report REPORT NO. 1 Prokaryotes: Bacteria Most of us have been conditioned to think of bacteria as invisible‚ potentially harmful little creatures. Actually‚ relatively few species of bacteria cause disease in humans‚ animals‚ plants‚ or any other organisms. In fact‚ all organisms made up of eukaryotic cells probably evolved from bacteria-like organisms‚ which were some

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

Pure Culture Techniques In this first lab‚ you will be learning some very fundamental and important techniques. As is the case with most things‚ shorts cuts usually get you in trouble. This is especially true in Microbiology. The techniques you will be learning tonight‚ if mastered correctly‚ will make your life and learning experience in Microbiology much easier‚ if you don’t pay attention and practice these techniques incorrectly‚ well then……? Today you will be learning the following techniques:

Identification and Diagnosis of Unknown Enteric Bacteria in an Infected Patient Using an Enteropluritube Brooke Addario 2/16/2015 BIO 488C - Section J TA – Jacob Karsten Introduction: Enteric bacteria are members of the Enterobacteriaceae family of microorganisms. These gram negative‚ rod shaped‚ facultative anaerobes are found in the intestinal tracts of humans and animals. Enteric bacteria can be pathogenic; however‚ they are also a normal part of human bacterial flora and are therefore

Microbiology Laboratory Report Identification of Unknown Bacteria 03/10/05- 04/01/05 Authors: Richard Hendricks‚ Jessica Prebish; NMU Abstract: Broth culture 16 was randomly selected by our group and subjected to qualitative tests for taxonomic identification. The culture did appear homogenous throughout the testing period and is currently retained by Northern Michigan University’s department of Microbiology. We suggest that culture 16 is an example of Escherichia coli. Background: Techniques

Phelps‚ Biology 205 MW 2:10pm. Unknown Organism Paper The unknown organism tested in the Mesa lab was collected from in between the toes of my puppy‚ Riley. The original culture grown consisted of dozens of visibly different organisms of varying colony colors and growth patterns. I chose to test a smaller‚ red colony for my experiments. Based on its gram reaction and oxygen requirements‚ the following tests were performed to reach my presumptive ID: Test Performed Result Gram Stain +
