Unknown Project I. Introduction The purpose to this lab was to isolate and identify two unknown bacteria from a mixed culture provided to us. 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 microbes in question . The identification of unknown bacteria is a time honored part of microbiology courses. It will challenge knowledge and skill in performing

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Food is one of human sources of calorie‚ protein‚ fats‚ and nutrition. Yet‚ because of the highly nutritious content‚ food is susceptible to growth of microorganisms. By the presence of microorganisms in food‚ the food is more likely to have shorter shelf life. Thus‚ mostly it is resolved by the addition of antimicrobial substances to food‚ such as condiments and preservatives. Condiments and preservatives could inhibit the growth of microorganisms

Biology 10 Vinegar Eel Lab Adam Dorner 1) The most toxic metals were silver‚ lead and iron‚ all killing the eels in under four minutes‚ with silver taking only 1 minute and 40 seconds to kill the eels‚ and only 13 seconds to make the eels stop forward motion. Strontium wasn’t effective as after 5 minutes of exposure to it‚ the eels hadn’t died or stopped forward motion. 2) a) The accepted toxicity varies from metal to metal. The accepted toxic level of lead is 0.0012 parts per million‚ however

Another food‚ yogurt is the coagulated milk product that results from the fermentation of milk. Milk is fermented with the help of friendly bacteria that produce lactic acid‚ which curdles the milk and preserve it from spoilage. These microorganisms that are used to ferment the product can be stained with the
