organism B was oxidase negative. Then I decided I would run the biochemical tests on organism B. I observed that organism B was non-motile and did not produce endospores. With these results‚ I narrowed down the possible species to Enterococcus faecalis‚ Enterococcus faecium‚ Lactococcus lactis‚ Leuconostoc mesenteroides‚ Pediococcus parvulus‚ and Streptococcus mitis. After obtaining some background information on these bacterial strains in the Strain Information handout‚ I decided to inoculate

of the two experiments was to determine the fundamental effects that temperature has on the growth and survival of bacteria. During the first experiment five different bacterial broth cultures of Escherichia coli‚ Pseudomonas fluorescens‚ Enterococcus faecalis‚ Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus stearothermophilus were individually incubated at temperatures of 5‚ 25‚ 37‚ 45 and 55°C for one week in an aim to distinguish the effect temperature has on growth and survival of the five different species.

Ten of the unknown bacteria were classified as Gram-positive bacilli: Bacillus cereus‚ Bacillus circulans‚ Bacillus coagulans‚ Bacillus megaterium‚ Bacillus subtilis‚ Bacillus thuringiensis‚ Brevibacillus brevis‚ Geobacillus stereothermophilus‚ Lysinibacillus sphaericus‚ Clostridium perfringens. Lastly‚ there were also 11 Gram-positive cocci microbes: Enterococcus faecalis

via the casease. Materials and Methods Bile Esculin Hydrolysis The organisms Lactococcus lactis and Enterococcus faecalis were spot-inoculated on a bile esculin agar plate. The bile esculin agar plate is a both selective and differential medium contains primarily esculin. The plate was then inverted and incubated at 37 oC for 24 hours. Bile salts‚ the selective agent‚ can allow only Enterococcus and group d streptococcus to hydrolyse esculin in the presence of bile salts‚ and inhibit growth of other

Purpose: To identify an unknown bacterial specimen using basic laboratory technique and biochemical tests. The unknown bacteria will be one of the following: Enterococcus faecalis‚ Staphylococcus saprophyticus‚ Escherichia coli‚ Enterobacter aerogenes‚ Proteus vulgaris‚ Salmonella [I assume typhimurium]‚ or Shigella [either flexneri or sonnei‚ we used both in our lab during the semester]. Procedure {and observations}: Observe bacterial colony morphology. {Colonies are large‚ beige or
