Osmosis 4/13/13 MLT1 Lab 9 Performed at Home Microbial Growth There are three types of environments in which cells are located which include isotonic‚ hypotonic and hypertonic. In an isotonic environment‚ the amount of water and solute are the same both inside and outside of the cell. As water drifts into the a cell‚ the same amount flows out creating a balanced environment both inside and outside of the cell. When there is a high level of

were given unknown number 3 in the laboratory. After performing various tests over the course of a few weeks on our unknown‚ we came to the conclusion that our unknown organism is Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae). K. pneumoniae is a gram negative bacillus shaped microorganism. We observed that K. pneumoniae is a nonmotile organism. We performed multiple tests on our unknown culture‚ therefore we are very confident that it is correctly identified. We identified that K. pneumoniae is a facultative
