-Unknown Mixtures Lab- Purpose: The aim of this experiment was to find out the two substances of the unknown mixture from salt‚ sugar‚ dirt‚ and baking soda by looking at its properties. Hypothesis: Find the unknown substance by testing it out by heating it‚ pouring water‚ vinegar‚ and observing it . Procedure: 1) Materials- * 100ml of water * Vinegar * Bunsen Burner * 2 beakers * 1 spatula 2) First‚ do steps (3-6)to find out the properties of salt‚ sugar

Introduction: During this unknown lab report various test were performed to differentiate microbes from each other and to compare metabolic and biochemical process. The gram stain distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria based on the composition of the cell wall. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. Gram positive bacteria stain violet due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan

Unknown #1 Vomit Serratia marcescens & Bacillus cereus Biol 251 Microbiology 5/14/2009 Introduction The purpose of this study is to differentiate and identify two unknown organisms provided by the instructor in a nutrient broth. It is only known that the two organisms are from vomit; one is gram-positive and the other is gram-negative. It is necessary to first separate the two organisms by inoculating a nutrient agar plate using the streak-plate method. The

DISCUSSIONIn the first part of the lab‚ since the effect of moist heat treatment on bacterial spores wasbeing investigated‚ the spores from Bacillus stearothermophilus was used. Using the three testtubes with spores‚ the first one (1) was autoclaved‚ the second (2) was boiled‚ and third (3)received no treatment. The fourth test tube (4) didn’t have a spore strip and served as a controlfor the effectiveness of the aseptic pipetting technique. As hypothesized‚ test tubes 1 and 4experienced no bacterial

LAB Report #3 Introduction: In this lab we have focus on Isolation of bacteria from environment. Microorganisms are found throughout the environment: in the air and water; on the surface of any object such as clothes‚ walls‚ furniture; in soil and dust; and on and in our own bodies (skin and mucous membranes). In order to demonstrate the ubiquity and diversity of microbes in the environment‚ samples from immediate areas of the environment and/or from your body will be obtained and cultured
