The purpose of the following study is to determine where the two unknown bacteria acquired in Microbiology lab should be classified in regards to temperature‚ pH level‚ and osmoregularity. It is important to classify bacteria in order to identify them. Identification of bacteria is important because they are not only useful but potentially dangerous as well. The identification of bacteria can lead to breakthroughs in healthcare regarding treatment of old and new diseases alike. Identifying bacteria

I immediately made a streak plate and started the Gram Stain protocol1. In the first two slides‚ I made and stained‚ my results were ambiguous. Without putting the slide into the microscope‚ I noticed one was pink and the other purple. To resolve it‚ I discarded my slides and started again and was extremely careful in proceeding the Gram Stain. I concluded that my unknown A was gram-negative bacilli. Using the dichotomous key for gram-negative bacilli I started the protocol for the lactose test2

UNKNOW BACTERIA LAB REPORT UNKNOWN 36 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria from a mixed culture. The reason for identification of unknown bacteria was to help students recognize different bacteria through different biochemical tests and characteristics. This is important in the medical field because identification of unknown bacteria can help treat a patient by knowing the contributing source of a disease. Also knowledge of different bacteria helped others

Gram Staining Lab Introduction Gram staining is a very important technique used in biology labs all over the world. It is a technique used to differentiate types of bacteria using certain physical and chemical characteristics of their cell walls. Gram positive bacteria (which show up purple after the gram staining process) have a very thick layer of peptidoglycan where gram negative bacteria (which show up pink after the gram staining process) have a much thinner layer of peptidoglycan. One thing

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 (McCarthy‚ 25). In the specific experiment that was done‚ Gram Staining
