Pseudomonas taiwanensis – Enrichment‚ Isolation and Identification Microbiology 521 2/10/12 Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to enrich Pseudomonas bacteria‚ isolating a species of Pseudomonas and identifying it using phenotypic properties and DNA sequencing as an existent or completely new and undiscovered species of Pseudomonas. Overview: Genus Pseudomonas is a chemoheterotrophic bacteria found in soil and water. They are Gram negative‚ motile‚ paired rods that are also oxidase-positive

Identification of Proteus vulgaris from an Unknown Sample Lakhram Bhisham March 31‚ 2016 01:447:390 General Microbiology TA: Jennifer Goff ABSTRACT This report delineates how unknown #405 was identified as Proteus vulgaris out of a possible seven species of Enterobacteriaceae by applying various tests that are able to distinguish between members of the family. Inevitably‚ the results for many tests are identical across multiple species‚ which is expected due to the organisms’ evolutionary relatedness

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

Effects of Different Antibiotics on Bacteria Because of their small size‚ rapid rate of reproduction‚ and relatively simple structure‚ bacteria are excellent subjects for laboratory studies. This investigation will introduce you to techniques of microbiology that will be of use to you throughout your biological work. Procedure 1. Heat the test tubes of sterile agar medium in the water bath until the agar melts. 2. Remove the test tubes from the water bath. Let them cool enough to hold in your

Introduction: There are times when it is necessary to go through something both inside and outside‚ literally‚ to learn. This was exactly the case with virtual lab #11 where the experiment called for an examination of an earthworm’s exterior anatomy and interior anatomy. The earthworm as a whole is considered the dependent variable as we cannot change it. However‚ the labels to be placed can be moved so they are the independent variables. My hypothesis is quite elementary. I believe that after studying

which bacteria can be mechanically diluted and therefore isolated as independent colonies representing different bacterial species. The isolation of independent bacterial species from various environmental sources is important in all branches of microbiology since bacteria are ubiquitous and live in microbial communities of mixed populations. Populations in microbial communities or ecosystems may interact and cooperate in their efforts to obtain nutrients from the environment with the waste products

The identification of an unknown bacterial environmental isolate through a series of morphological‚ physiological and differential exercises. The purpose of the environmental isolate report is to learn what is necessary in order to take an unknown environmental isolate (EI) and identify it. This was achieved through a series of exercises that provided information on the morphological‚ physiological and biochemical traits of the EI which were then compiled and interpreted in order to make a presumptive

Exercise 8-B Differential Staining Gram Staining and Acid Fast Staining Introduction: Differential Staining‚ one which facilitates differentiation of various elements in a specimen is a general term that can refer to a number of specific processes. Using multiple stains can better differentiate between different microorganisms or cellular components of a single organism. Gram’s Stain is a widely used method of staining bacteria as an aid to their identification. It was originally devised by Hans
