    Pure Cultures Lab Report

    Introduction : Pure cultures are made of only one type of organisms and can be used to study their properties. A method used to isolate pure cultures is making a steak-plate, which is a dilution process in which culture is spread over an agar plate in a certain manner. Using a loop rod, culture was taken from the tube and dragged across area 1 several time,of the agar. The agar was then turned 90º, and the loop was flamed and cooled. Taking some culture from area 1, it was dragged over area two,and the same steps were done for areas 3 and 4.Another technique used was spread-plate, where the same culture is spread over the agar plate using a sterile L-shaped bent glass rod. The rod was dipped in 95%…

    A stock broth culture of the two unknown species #72 was obtained. Two streaks were performed using loops of the stock broth on a fresh dish of nutrient agar and incubated for 48 hours @ 32C and @ 25C. There was separate colony growth that where two different colors one red and one yellow on the streak plate incubated @ 25C. Two slants where made with each colony growth and incubated for 48 hours @ 25C. A Gram stain was then carried out to differentiate the unknown samples. The Gram stain produced satisfactory results with a clear indication that the yellow species was Gram positive and the red species was Gram negative. The Gram stain was conducted to reveal…

    Introduction The purpose of this project was to detect which organism we had in our unknown mixed culture tube by running a series of experiments to detect which specific Gram negative organism we had. To detect your gram positive from the mixed culture was given as extra credit points also. A Gram stain was performed and isolation streak plate in order to isolate and observe the unknown organism. Before the series of test, a dichotomous key had to be written up in order to know what steps and tests to run to identify the unknown Gram negative organism.…

    The objective here is to reduce meat contamination by establishing a Microbial lab within each meat factory in United States. This method will allow us to test animal intestine to see if they are contaminated by bacteria. Bacteria can be difficult to sample and analyze, for many reasons. Natural bacteria levels in streams can vary significantly; bacteria conditions are strongly correlated with rainfall, and thus comparing wet and dry weather bacteria data can be a problem; many analytical methods have a low level of precision yet can be quite complex; and absolutely sterile conditions are required to collect and handle samples.…
