In the 2nd phase‚ chitin will then be dissolved in less than 40% of Sodium Hydroxide‚ and heated to 90celcius which will convert the Chitin into Chitosan upon dissolving. The third phase will take place over 3 days. The nutrient broth and nutrient agar will be prepared first. On the 2nd day‚ the bacteria broth will be prepared prior to an overnight culture on the same day using E-Coli and M.Luteus. On the 3rd day‚ the Anti-bacterial well diffusion test will be carried out. Finally‚ we will

A frequent chore in bacteriological work is the transfer of isolates from one substrate to other selective or indicator agar media. In place of an inoculating needle‚ one might imagine a device consisting of many needle tips in fixed array‚ so that one operation would substitute for repeated transfers with a single needle. The requirements of this design are met by pile

OBJECTIVES: distinguish between different bacterial species based on colony morphology on agar plates To distinguish the growth characteristics of microorganisms in various differential‚ and selective media. Differentiate bacteria based on their ability to hydrolyze starch. Materials: Plates of EMB‚ Starch and blood agar. Stool sample. Inoculating loop. Bunsen burner. Soil sample. Cotton soap. Skin sample. Gram iodine. Results: Starch agar: Special

Materials: 4 sterile cotton swab‚ sterile water in test tube‚ 4 agar plates and 2 blood agar plates‚ wax pencil and labels. Procedure: Appropriately label the cover of each plate as indicated in lab. 1. Determine 2 sampling sources‚ one from your body and one from the surrounding environment. 2. For the first agar plate‚ for sampling from air‚ remove the lids from the plate and allow it to sit uncovered for 15 minutes. 1. For second agar plate‚ open the “stick” end of the sterile cotton swabs to

HYPOTHESIS: Microbial growth will be present in two of the three Agar plates (those containing the food product) due to the suspected presence of microbes‚ whilst the control Agar plate (containing no food products) will remain free of contamination and microbial growth. MATERIALS: - 3x Agar plates - 10g of berry yoghurt - 10g

Using the Identification Lab manual‚ identify at least 2 Eukaryotes (fungus) found in the soil sample that are isolated on the Potato dextrose agar plate and the nutrient agar plate. 3.

early days of microbiology in the 19th century‚ culture on agar plates has been a central technique for the study of bacteria. This practical is designed to introduce students to the basic techniques required to manipulate bacteria. Students will gain experience with the streak plate procedure‚ used to isolate pure colonies of bacteria‚ and viable plate count methods. The latter involves serial dilution and spread plating of bacteria on agar plates. Materials required per pair • One 10 ml liquid culture

that will be of use to you throughout your biological work. Procedure 1. Heat the test tubes of sterile agar medium in the water bath until the agar melts. 2. Remove the test tubes from the water bath. Let them cool enough to hold in your hand‚ but not so much that the agar becomes solid again. Perform the following transfer as quickly as possible. You must work rapidly so that the liquid agar will not cool and solidify before the transfer is completed. 3. Hold both a test tube

The swab are diluted in a dilutant such as peptone water or phosphate buffer‚ according to the anticipated amount of contamination and subsequently applied to a growth medium containing agar in a sterile‚ covered plate (David‚ Richard and R. 2004). There are many advantages to the cotton swab method. These include the ease with which any health care
