Sp2012 (Set all of your margins to ½”) Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to help you become a little familiar with some of the tests that can be typically performed in a clinical or research lab facility. These tests may help in determining a particular pathogen’s growth needs. There are several sections to this lab. Find each section and complete the “Preparing for Class” sections. Preparing for class - Day 1 Read in your lab manual about the following agar mediums: Blood Agar (pg 168)‚ EMB

| Gram Negative Unknown | Biology 3444-006 | | Lena Wallace | 11/7/2011 | | Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to identify an unknown bacteria culture using differential tests. The identification of the unknown culture was accomplished by identifying the bacteria based on its specific metabolic characteristics and morphology. It is suggested that culture 11 is a sample of Enterobacter aerogenes. Introduction: This experiment was centered on metabolic and biochemical testing

our skills we have learned in the lab to identify two unknown organisms. PROCEDURE I was given unknown #76. I performed the streak plating method with my unknown organisms. To perform this exercise I needed a TSA plate and labeled the bottom of it with my name‚ group number and organism. I also divided the bottom into three sections. After that‚ I sterilized my inoculating loop using the bunsen burner flame. After letting the loop cool‚ I reached into my unknown test tube with my loop and grabbed

Microbiology UNKNOWN LAB REPORT Kateryna Petrakova INTRODUCTION Microorganisms cause a great amount of diseases. For healthcare providers it is very important to be aware of what organisms are pathogenic and cause a disease and‚ therefore‚ to find an appropriate treatment. Different microorganisms require various environments in order to replicate and to become dangerous for a person’s health. An integral part of any medical treatment is to be able to recognize and

The first test conducted on unknown bacteria 32 was the Gram stain. From this stain‚ unknown 32 was found to be a Gram-positive cocci. This test eliminated all possible Gram-negative bacteria‚ Gram-positive rods and Gram-positive spirillium. Next‚ the endospore test determined whether or not the Gram-positive bacteria contained endospores. With the use of malachite green‚ steam‚ and safranin it was found that unknown bacteria 32 did not contain endospores. This eliminated Gram-positive cocci Sporosarcina

Double unknown identification of a mixed culture of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria 2. Author: Nick Fiore‚ University of Kansas‚ Biology 402‚ Fall 2014 3:00pm room 6040 3. Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to isolate two unknown bacteria and perform a series of selective and differential tests to correctly identify each. After the bacteria was isolated a series of differential and selective tests following the dichotomous key attached were used to identify each bacteria. The Gram-positive

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
