the basis for this project. The bacterial cultures were maintained and used for various physiological‚ cultural‚ and biochemical tests and observations over several weeks. The purpose of culturing bacteria over half the course of the semester was to learn various techniques used in microbiology labs and to subsequently utilize those techniques for the purpose of identifying the bacteria. The data‚ once compiled‚ was then used to determine the possible identity of the unknown bacteria based on the

Gbengon‚Sennie Microbiology Lab Case study # 5 November 1‚2012 1. What evidence suggests that the young graduate student has contracted what disease? Ans: The signs and symptoms the young graduate student presented‚ show evidence of Lyme disease. 2. What is the environmental pathway for the vector of this disease? Ans: The environmental pathway for the vector of this disease would be a forested habitat. The black-legged tick or the deer tick is the principle vector of this disease (Lyme

Exercise 5 Introduction: Many different species of bacteria look similar under the microscope and also have the same staining results (ex. Gram stain). To be able to differentiate between the different species‚ one can look at the metabolic differences (fermentation)‚ as well as the environmental condition differences (temperature‚ pH‚ oxygen requirements). Being able to manipulate these conditions in a controlled environment can help to correctly identify the exact bacteria. Different media

Purpose: Unknown mixtures will be separated by means of chromatography in which the mixture will be passed in a solution through a medium leaving behind components of the mixture at different rates‚ therefore‚ different spots on the absorbing substance. This will help determine the identity of unknown mixtures. The spot colors on the strip of filter paper and the Rf values of the unknown samples will be compared to those of known samples. To find the position of the spots on the strip of paper‚ we

Escherichia coli Microbiology Lab NAS 185-14L Introduction In this lab experiment we did several test to determine what our unknown bacteria was. To determine this we recorded the results of how the bacteria reacted to different media. Depending on the results of each test we could narrow down the different bacteria to determine what our unknown is. This experiment will also determine if our bacteria is a fermenter of sugars and if it is catalase positive. If the bacteria is a fermenter

1. Create and complete a data table for Part One of the lab. It should include the name of the element (or unknown) examined and the color of the observed flame 2. Identify each unknown from Part One of the lab and briefly explain why you identified each unknown as you did. Part Two (Spectroscopy): 1. Create and complete a data table for Part Two of the lab. It should include the name of the element‚ the colors‚ and the wavelength values of the observed lines. 2. Describe the line spectrum

This number alludes to the twenty-one gun salute‚ the highest honor given any military of foreign dignitary. The guards hold their task in their highest regards. They look their ability to guard the Tomb of the Unknown in highest regards. Similarly‚ it would be an indescribable honor for me to be able to lay the wreath upon the Tomb.

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
