Microbiology Department of Microbiology University of Kwa-zulu Natal 25 October 2010 ABSTRACT Different types of bacteria in various forms are found all around us‚ and it is a microbiologist’s job to be able to identify these bacteria. Using various staining techniques and physiological tests‚ an isolated bacterium can be identified. In this experiment‚ a single bacterial colony was isolated form Mycorrhizal spores‚ and further tests done on that colony. Sub culturing was done after each week to ensure

different colonies were observed‚ the first colony was yellow in color and larger in size and the white colored colony was slightly smaller in size. As instructed‚ each colony was prepared for gram staining‚ one slide for the large yellow colony and one for the smaller white colony. After properly gram staining the slides as directed in chapter six of the lab manual‚ the smears were examined

Title – Differentiating Organisms using the Gram Stain Introduction The experiment conducted was based upon the known attributes of two different groups of bacteria‚ those that are gram positive‚ and those that are gram negative. Using a specific staining procedure‚ it is possible to differentiate the two types under a microscope The gram stain method of differentiation is possible because of differences in the cell membrane between the two categories of bacteria. Gram positive cells have an extra

this paper will be on the description of the just one of the three bacteria and some of its effects on humans. The first test done was a differential stain (gram stain) to determine the unknown microorganism cell shape and arrangement. The gram staining is done by first putting a sample of the unknown bacteria on a slide and it was heat fixed taking care not to over or under fixed the slide. The slide was flooded with crystal violet and let stand for 30 seconds and then rinsed with water. Secondly

Section 4 Biol 311 Staining and Identifying Unknown Bacteria Introduction: The microbiology lab up to this point has been used to teach the students how to stain and identify bacteria. There are several types of staining through which the bacteria can be identified based on the color and shape. The staining methods used in the lab are Gram Staining‚ Capsule Staining‚ Endospore Staining‚ and Acid Fast staining. One of the most significant method of staining is the Gram Staining‚ as it is highly dependent

What is the role of the Gram’s iodine in a Gram stain? What color would all bacteria become at the end of the staining procedure if the iodine in the gram step was omitted? What is the role of the alcohol wash in the Gram Stain? What color would all bacteria become at the end of the staining procedure

multiple types of testing in order to determine the identity of the unknown organism. The tests performed to identify the unknown organism included Gram Staining‚ Fluid thioglycollate/aero-tolerance test‚ Methyl Red-Vogues Proskauer‚ SIM test‚ Lysine Decarboxylase test‚ Lactose Fermentation test‚ Simmons Citrate test‚ and TSI test. The Gram staining technique showed that the organism was Gram negative and bacilli shaped. The fluid thioglycollate test showed that the organism was a facultative anaerobe
