    Unknown Bacteria Lab Assignment

    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.…

    Appendix B: Identifying Bacteria Identification

    One possible source of contamination may be the produce that is grown and distributed locally at a farmer’s market. A test sample of some of the produce revealed evidence of bacterial contamination. The bacteria sample was tested in a microbiology lab and showed the results that follow. The laboratory also performed a Gram stain of the isolated bacteria and ran a number of biochemical tests to aid identification. The biochemical tests were assayed using the Analytical Profile Index (API) 20E system for identification of Enterobacteriaceae and other gram-negative…

    RE: M4D1

    Koch was the first scientist to prove that bacteria actually cause disease. He scientifically demonstrated that a disease is caused by a particular organism. He created four general guidelines to aid in identification of disease causing pathogens. These guidelines developed from his work with purified cultures of anthrax that had been isolated from dead animals. Koch also proved that the same disease could be passed from one organism to another. Pasteur proved that microorganisms could be present in non-living matter. Bassi preceded both Pasteur and Koch in the discovery that many diseases of both man and animal were caused by parasites. This was vital in the formulation of the germ theory, to which both Pasteur and Koch would later expound. Bassi and Pasteur, though their research was important to later research, did not discover the true cause of disease, nor were they able to isolate the causal organisms. Koch was not only able to isolate the causal pathogen, he was able to correlate a specific pathogen caused a specific disease. We use his postulates because, if followed, they provide accurate data.…

    Unknown Bacteria Report

    An unknown bacterium experiment, this experiment was done to discover what bacterium was in a mixed culture sample. This experiment worked with enteric bacteria which are members of the Enterobacteriaceae and live in the intestinal tract (Willey et al., 2014). Also found in Willey et al (2014) is some characteristics of enterics such as they all degrade sugars by means of the Embden-Meyerhof pathway, they produce plasmid-encoded proteins and that some of them perform mixed acid fermentation, some use enzyme systems like formate dehydrogenase and pyruvate formate-lyase (PFL) The first thing that had to be done was the streak plating to isolate the bacterium, then the next lab multiple tests were ran to help identify which bacterium was in the sample. One of the most important tests done was gram staining because it helped to limit the possible bacterium that it could have been. To be sure which bacterium was worked with we referred to the Bergey’s manual and compared the results to the possible bacterium.…

    Unknown Bacteria Essay

    The unknown bacteria A and bacteria B have to be identified by its genus and species. First both bacteria had to be inoculated into a TSA agar media using the streak plate method. Four quadrants were drawn, so that the bacteria could be isolated as much as possible. Each bacteria was inoculated into two different plates, so that one could be incubated at 37 degrees Celsius and the other at 25 degrees Celsius. Bacteria B, which was incubated at room temperature showed red colonies throughout its media. This identified it as the gram-negative bacteria Serratia marcescens, but further tests had to be conducted to fully confirm. Bacteria A showed a white opaque growth in both of its plates.…

    Summary Of The Wild Life Of Our Bodies

    Another creditable experiment was a study by James Arthur Reyniers who was a bacteriologist trying to make the first germ free animal. The study consists of giving birth to a guinea pig inside a giant metal ball so that the baby could live in a world without any germs. Reyniers believed if we could “kill the germs” then “we would be healthier and happier” (74). However, Dunn was able to refute Reyniers’ argument by expressing Reyniers’ failure of keeping bacteria out of the chambers killing the guinea pig. Therefore, due to Reyniers’ credentials in bacteriology, this study was appropriate to prove that we can live without bacteria as long as that is where we were birthed but it is too hard to exclude…

    Identify Unknown Microbes

    Often in the study of microbiology, the need to identify an unknown microbe may arise. This aids in the recognition of which microbes are harmful or pathogenic as well as those that may be beneficial to us in some way. This report will detail how a similar project was performed in order to identify two unknown micobes using the techniques that were learnt during the course of the semester. We embarked on the project with the knowledge that we would have to identify a Gram(+) as well as a Gram(-) from the species that were given and the experiment proceeded as follows.…

    Unknown Bacteria Essay

    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 can be used to culture and identify bacteria.…

    A contractor was feeling defeated because the job he was working on was so far behind schedule. As he looked at the job site, he saw one worker moving bricks by carrying two at a time from where they were unloaded to where they were needed. He saw another climbing up a ladder with a few shingles, climbing back down to get more, and then repeating the process. Which management process could be used to determine how the workers could perform their tasks more efficiently?…
