Coccus is a term used to describe a type of morphology that helps us distinguish different kinds of bacteria. The cell’s morphology is only one of the many ways we can differentiate the different species. Looking at these bacterium underneath the microscope is an important step to determine which kind of species it is. All cocci bacteria are not gram positive‚ but this lab will examine only this kind because of their influence in human health. Staphylococcus Aureus is a gram-positive coccus bacterium

Bacteria Lab Write-Up Jianna Liu P8 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find out which substance‚ alcohol‚ antibacterial soap‚ water‚ or hydrogen peroxide‚ is the best at preventing the growth of bacteria. Hypothesis: Antibacterial soap will be the best because soap is a substance that people use to wash their hands because it takes away the germs. Even the name‚ antibacterial soap‚ suggests that it fights off bacteria. Hydrogen peroxide is second because it is used

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

Unknown Bacteria Lab Report Introduction The purpose to this lab was to identify an unknown bacteria from a mixed culture provided to us by our instructor. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been instructed on thus far in microbiology laboratory class. Each test performed‚ provided us with some key information about the unknown organism in question and how the bacteria function. Over a two week period‚ eight prepared types of test media were provided to identify

own nasal mucus had antibacterial effects--when he left a culture plate smeared with Staphylococcus bacteria on his lab bench while he went on a two-week holiday. When he returned‚ he noticed a clear halo surrounding the yellow-green growth of a mold that had accidentally contaminated the plate. Unknown to him‚ a spore of a rare variant called Penicillium notatum had drifted in from a mycology lab one floor below. Luck would have it that Fleming had decided not to store his culture in a warm incubator

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to see how much bacteria can and will grow in common places in a typical high school. Common places can mean many things‚ including anything from water fountain spouts to computer keyboards. Such objects can hold up to 2‚700‚000 colony forming units per square inch (or CFU/in sq)(NSF). A colony forming unit is the unit used to find an estimate of the number of cells of a bacteria. This unit of measurement is commonly utilized in the subject of microbiology

Forensics Mystery Blood Typing Lab Scenario: Police are called to a house where they discover a body near the back door. There is a fresh pool of blood by the victim’s head. Officers question the neighbors and learn that a plumber and an electrician made service calls to the house just hours before. They were able to trace both. They recover a shirt with a dark stains from the service van of the plumber and rags with similar dark stains from electrician’s van. Your forensics lab receives the

Introduction In this lab experiment our group was given four different types of synthetic blood samples‚ along with three types of synthetic anti- A‚ B‚ and Rh‚ to help identify the ABO-Rh blood types. Its purpose of this experiment is to learn about the form and functions of the bloods components‚ as well as to examine and identify different blood types‚ as many already do so and apply it to real life events‚ whether its through forensics‚ crime scene investigations or at hospitals to help identify
