Unknown Bacteria Lab Report Introduction The purpose to this lab was to identify an unknown bacteria from a mixed culture provided to us by our instructor. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been instructed on thus far in microbiology laboratory class. Each test performed‚ provided us with some key information about the unknown organism in question and how the bacteria function. Over a two week period‚ eight prepared types of test media were provided to identify

Major concepts to review for Exam 1: 1.) know the elements of life – and how the reduction and oxidative of some of these drive bioenergetics 2.) Know the general time line for biology and evolution on the Earth; What major events altered evolution especially in terms of microbially driven changes 3.) Carl Woese – what did he contribute? What kind of biological molecules are best to generate phylogenetic trees‚ and why? How does this compare to enzymes? 4.) What defines a species (formal definitions)

Lab12-Medical Microbiology- Part1– Differential Media/Biochemical Tests‚ Sp2012 (Set all of your margins to ½”) Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to help you become a little familiar with some of the tests that can be typically performed in a clinical or research lab facility. These tests may help in determining a particular pathogen’s growth needs. There are several sections to this lab. Find each section and complete the “Preparing for Class” sections.

Escherichia coli Microbiology Lab NAS 185-14L Introduction In this lab experiment we did several test to determine what our unknown bacteria was. To determine this we recorded the results of how the bacteria reacted to different media. Depending on the results of each test we could narrow down the different bacteria to determine what our unknown is. This experiment will also determine if our bacteria is a fermenter of sugars and if it is catalase positive. If the bacteria is

Experiment 2: Microscopy & Simple Staining September 30‚ 2013 General microbiology laboratory The invention of the microscope has opened up a whole new dimension in science. By using microscopes scientists were able to discover the existence of microorganisms‚ study the structure of cells‚ and see the smallest parts of plants‚ animals‚ and fungi. Today‚ the microscope is still a commonly used tool to diagnose illness in hospitals and clinics all over the world (1)

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
