Name: Madison Gullatt Sect/Table: !/D
Experiment 8 Report: Extracellular Enzymes
Purpose:
The purpose of this experiment is to perform a variety of different test and record the data from each test in relation to extracellular enzymes.

Results:
1. Fill in the following tables with your observations. Note if the test is positive or negative for the enzyme. Also note the appearance of the colonies and/or media. This will include: the color of the medium immediately surrounding the colonies after addition of iodine on PDA plate, whether bubbles were observed or not in the catalase test, the color of the urea slant, the color of the citrate slant, and whether the rabbit plasma remained liquid or became solid due to clot formation, etc. After each observation note which results indicate production of the given enzymes and which results indicate non-production of the given enzyme by placing a “+” or “-“in the appropriate squares.

    Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature, pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions, which would otherwise progress more slowly.(Background Information; pg. 1) pH is a measurement of the acidity or alkalinity (base) of a solution. When the liver got mixed with H2O2 , the first time the chemical reaction was fast, the second time the reaction was slow and the last try was very fast. Temperature is the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object. When the temperature of the liver changed from freezing to very hot to room…

    1) The purpose of this lab was to determine the rate of enzyme activity under variety of different conditions, such as, different amount of drops of enzymes and different temperature of water. The class measured the pressure in the test tube during the reaction of the substance with, 1.5 ml of H2O2, 1.5ml of H2O and different amounts of enzyme drops, to determine how much oxygen gas is produced during the reaction since the pressure of the test tube will get higher as more oxygen gas is accumulated during the reaction.…

    Staphylococcus is a genus of the Gram-positive bacteria which appears as grape-like clusters structure when observed under the microscope. Staphylococcus genus can be grouped into not less than 40 species, where nine of them consist of 2 subspecies and one gas three subspecies. Staphylococcus was first found in the year if 1880 by surgeon A.Ogston during a surgical abscess in a knee joint. Until this day, average estimation of 20% of the human population are carriers of Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus, one of the members of the Firmicutes, is commonly found in the respiratory tract or on the skin, causing skin irritation and infection and also sinusitis and respiratory infection (Ogston A 1984).…

    For Activity A, we first tested enzyme activity. First, we used an H2O2 syringe to transfer 10 mL of H2O2 into an unlabeled 60-mL cup. Then, we used a transfer pipet to add one mL of catalase solution into the unlabeled 60-mL cup that we put H2O2 in. After that, we observed the solution for one minute. Then we tested the effect of boiling on enzyme activity. First we used a transfer pipet to transfer 4 mL of catalase into a test tube. After that, we placed the test tube filled with catalase in a boiling water bath for five minutes. While we were waiting, we rinsed the unlabeled cup we used earlier when we tested enzyme activity. Then we used a H2O2 syringe to transfer 10 mL of H2O2 into the rinsed unlabeled cup. After five minutes, we transferred 1 mL of the boiling catalase into the unlabeled cup with H2O2 in it with an unused transfer pipet and observed the results. After testing the effect of boiling on enzyme activity, we tested for catalase in living tissue. First, we rinsed the unlabeled 60 mL cup we used earlier. Then, we used a scalpel to cut a small piece of liver. After that, we macerated the piece of liver with a glass rod. When the liver was macerated enough, we put it in a cup with 10 mL of H2O2, which was transferred into the cup with a H2O2 syringe. Lastly, we observed the cup.…

    Staphylococcus Epidermidis

    • 5 Pages

    Staphylococcus epidermidis is a gram-positive bacterium, whose species belongs to the genus Staphylococcus. It was an unknown species until 1884, when microbiologist, Fredrich Julius Rosenbach, distinguished it from Staphylococcus aureus. He had discovered that S. epidermidis grew in white colonies, whereas S. aureus grew in yellow colonies. As a result of those findings, he had initially named it Staphylococcus albus (Horak). When viewed under the microscope, S. epidermidis can usually be found growing in round, grape-like clusters, but it may also grow in chains or pairs. Just like most members of this genus, S. epidermidis is non-motile and they do not form spores. It is a facultative anaerobe that is able to grow by aerobic respiration or by formation (Horak). S. epidermidis is a coagulase-negative strain of the Staphylococcus species and is not able to utilize mannitol, which can easily distinguish it from S. aureus. It is also positive for urease and it is sensitive to…
