1. Obtain 1 gram of an impure‚ unknown substance solid. Make sure to stir the mixture before measuring the sample; record the mixture’s code in the data section. 2. Add approx. 25-50 mL of water and several boiling chips to a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask and heat the water to a gentle boil using a hotplate. 3. On a second hotplate‚ place a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask containing the one gram of unknown solid along with a boiling chip. 4. Using a ring clamp‚ slowly pour approx. 5-10 mL of boiling water into

Gram staining From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia A Gram stain of mixed Staphylococcus aureus (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923‚ Gram-positive cocci‚ in purple) andEscherichia coli (Escherichia coli ATCC 11775‚ Gram-negative bacilli‚ in red)‚ the most common Gram stain reference bacteria Gram staining (or Gram’s method) is a method of differentiating bacterial species into two large groups (Gram-positive and Gram-negative). The name comes from its inventor‚ Hans Christian Gram. Gram staining

BSE-Biological Sciences III-3 Microbiology (Lecture) Microbiology Written Report REPORT NO. 1 Prokaryotes: Bacteria Most of us have been conditioned to think of bacteria as invisible‚ potentially harmful little creatures. Actually‚ relatively few species of bacteria cause disease in humans‚ animals‚ plants‚ or any other organisms. In fact‚ all organisms made up of eukaryotic cells probably evolved from bacteria-like organisms‚ which were some of the earliest forms of life. In this chapter

GRAM STAINING EXPERIMENT CONDUCTED ON 9/29/2013 Introduction: The Gram stain is a useful stain for identifying and classifying bacteria. The Gram stain is a differential stain that allows you to classify bacteria as either gram positive or gram negative. This gram stain technique was discovered by Hans Christina Gram in 1884. The gram stain procedure separates all bacteria into one of two groups - into gram-negative bacteria which do not stain purple and into gram-positive

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

Gram Staining Gram Staining is a method of differentiating bacterial species into two large groups (Gram-positive and Gram-negative). Gram Staining is a way to separate one large group of bacteria into two. Crystal violet is used to dye the cells‚ which is the primary stain. Those that retain the color are grouped as Gram-positive‚ and those that do not retain the color are grouped as Gram-negative. Many of the Gram-negative bacteria are pathogenic‚ making this process useful for detecting infections

Alyse Rose Microbiology Lab Bacterial Unknown March 25‚ 2013 Bacterial Unknown Report Each student was given an unknown bacteria to figure out. I was given the unknown bacteria S38. Everybody is supposed to do all sorts of test to identify the bacteria. The first thing I did was smear my bacteria on a liquid medium. I then proceeded to incubate the medium for 24-48 hours. 1. GRAM STAIN The next step I took in finding my unknown bacteria was to gram stain it. This is used to differentiate
