ALL DUE: APRIL 25TH BY 1PM!!!
HARD COPY, NONE VIA EMAIL
Title Page – this should contain the following information: Unknown, your name, date (due date), course name / section, semester / year
Background/Introduction

One way is to mention the names of the materials used and reference the lab manual or notes for the procedure or method and elaborate when necessary. It is NOT necessary to write out the methods in detail, since this lab report is for the identification of an unknown bacterium and the methods are explained in detail in the lab handouts. THIS SHOULD BE IN PARAGRAPH FORMAT (I.E. LOOK AT JOURNAL ARTICLES FOR AN EXAMPLE) ALL ASSAYS MUST BE INCLUDED TO RECEIVE FULL CREDIT (Growth curve, CFUs (counting colonies/dilutions, can include equation), Growth after incubating at RT for 6 days, MIC (antimicrobial disc), Catalase, Oxidase, DNA isolation). Under each headline describe the methods and material. The example below includes for headline that should be included but not all. ALL ASSAYS MUST BE INCLUDED TO RECEIVE FULL CREDIT and MAKE SURE YOU READ YOUR PROTOCOLS I GAVE TO YOU CLEARLY. SHOULD ALSO KNOW THE PURPOSE OF ALL EXPERIMENTs.
