It Smells Like Proteus vulgaris Microbiology Lab Report for Unknown Robert Bhowanidin MCB 2010L / Section 1290 October 24th‚ 2013 The following report will describe both my journey to find my unknown as well as the results that led to my discovery. Before I start‚ I will say that I am 100% positive that my unknown (which was #31) is none other than Proteus vulgaris. My data and the ensuing results from them simply cannot be disputed. From my first batch of results‚ Proteus vulgaris reared

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

spectrometry. We will do this by making 2‚ 4 a DNPH derivative and checking the melting points. Theory: By Using specific methods of compounds detection‚ we can match an unknown compound with a known compound because similar compounds will display similar characteristics. In this experiment‚ identifications of the unknown ketone was accomplished using thin layer chromatography‚ melting point‚ and NMR spectrometry. Thin layer chromatography is very quick but sensitive way of determining the components

My journey to the unknown started about three weeks before the end of my microbiology class at Brunswick Community College. This journey started out with a media plate cultured with an unknown species of bacteria. I was then instructed by my professor to use all of my previous knowledge to identify the unknown bacterial pathogen. This lab led me to master my skills of using the Gram stain‚ testing for catalase‚ testing for coagulase and using the oxacillin screen. Now I am going to take you with

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

for this country‚ even though most of us are not grateful enough‚ They fight for the rights we have‚ each and every one of us‚ and they deserve our appreciation. I believe that the Unknown Soldier deserves just as much appreciation. The Wreath Ceremony would be an amazing honor to participate in and honor the Unknown Soldier and all this Soldier has given to protect us. This is truly an honor for whoever is chosen‚ I personally want to participate in the Wreath Ceremony because

The unknown carboxylic acid’s melting point was 108°C according to the Mel-Temp machine. The melting point is the temperature at which a solid precipitate changes into its liquid form upon heating. The melting point of benzoic acid‚ the aromatic carboxylic acid was 122°C. Thus‚ the product contained impurities which caused the solid to melt at a lower temperature than the actual temperature. Pure solids typically melt at higher temperatures while impure solids melt at lower temperatures. This is

The purpose of the following study is to determine where the two unknown bacteria acquired in Microbiology lab should be classified in regards to temperature‚ pH level‚ and osmoregularity. It is important to classify bacteria in order to identify them. Identification of bacteria is important because they are not only useful but potentially dangerous as well. The identification of bacteria can lead to breakthroughs in healthcare regarding treatment of old and new diseases alike. Identifying bacteria

Purpose: The purpose of this was to determine the concentration of sodium carbonate in an unknown sample by titration. The solution of hydrochloric acid was prepared and standardized using Na2CO3. Observations: Week 1: Standardizing hydrochloric acid using sodium carbonate with bromocresol green indicator Table 1: Titration of sodium carbonate using hydrochloric acid Trial | Mass of Na2CO3 (g) | Burette Reading (mL) | Final Volume of HCl (mL) | | | Initial | Final | | 1

Goals The main goal of this project is to learn how to identify the properties of an unknown ionic compound. In order to do this successfully the group has to use a variety of methods and run several tests on the unknown compound. By doing this the group will be able to identify the different chemical and physical properties of the compound that will help obtain the identity of the specific compound given. The group will devise two syntheses of the compound‚ and compare them for cost effectiveness
