Unknown reports in microbiology are written in scientific format. Scientific writing is written differently from other types of writing. The results of the exercise or experiment are what are being showcased‚ not the writing. The purpose of scientific writing is not to entertain‚ but to inform. The writing should be simple and easy to understand. There is a specific style that must be followed when writing scientific reports. Scientific writing is typically written in the passive voice. The

Stainin g What is Cellular Staining? Cell staining is a technique that can be used to better visualize cells and cell components under a microscope. By using different stains‚ one can preferentially stain certain cell components‚ such as a nucleus or a cell wall‚ or the entire cell. Most stains can be used on fixed‚ or non-living cells‚ while only some can be used on living cells; some stains can be used on either living is or non-living What Cellularcells. Staining? The most basic reason that cells

The science of microbiology is all about microorganisms‚ what they do and how they work. Microorganisms are ubiquitous‚ and are a very important part of life everywhere since they have been around for billions of years. The two main themes associated with microbiology are (1) having an understanding of the nature and function of the microbial world‚ and (2) being able to apply that understanding of the microbial world so that the benefits to the Earth and humans are known(6). This lab specifically

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

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

agar is a selective and differential media. The dyes eosin Y and methylene blue found in the medium inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacteria but not the growth of gram-negatives. Lactose fermenters metabolize the lactose in the media and produce acid byproducts‚ causing a color change in the colony which is dark purple‚ almost black. Strong acid productions by organisms result in a metallic green sheen. Weaker fermentation of

Endospore and Capsule Cell Staining Allison Lui Partner: Mary Chagin BIOL-235 W07 Dr. Runco 2/10/15 Introduction The purpose of this lab is to learn what endospore and capsules are‚ and how to identify them under a microscope using capsule and endospore staining methods. Capsules are found only in select bacteria‚ and serve a protective purpose. Made out of sugars and proteins‚ they are antiphagocytic‚ which prevents other cells to engulf the bacteria through phagocytosis. It
