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 a fermenter they will use the sugars to make ATP. If the bacteria is a fermenter of lactose/sucrose the EMB plate we used will “clearly differentiate between the colonies of lactose fermenting and non-fermenting microbes. In the same medium sucrose was also included to differentiate between coliforms that were able to ferment sucrose more rapidly than those that

performing an enumeration (plate count) of the total viable bacteria in the rice salad on a general non-selective agar using either the pour or the spread plate method. To confirm that the outbreak had been caused by any B. cereus present in the rice salad a selective media agar‚ such as mannitol egg yolk polymixin agar (MEYP/MYP)‚ should be used. Once B. cereus has been confirmed a further enumeration of the B. cereus should be performed on the MEYP/MYP agar selective media plate to show whether the amount

morphology. Colonies can be classified according to their colour‚ form‚ elevation‚ margin and size. Pure cultures of microorganisms are those that are uniform and are of the same descendants of the same organism. The isolation of colonies by streak plate technique allows the obtainment of pure cultures which can be studied further. Good quality aseptic technique and proper sterilisation are a required to ensure that all samples produced are free from unwanted organisms that can lead to contamination

Gain more knowledge about selective media and differential media. Practice use of the catalase test‚ coagulase and the oxidase test. Observe microbial flora of the nose. Significance: Understand the use of Mannitol salt agar‚ blood agar and MacConkey agar plates which must be used based on the components of the bacteria. The catalase test will be used to understand the difference in facultative anaerobic and groam positive from aero tolerant anaerobes. The coagulase test converts fibrogen

Techniques for Isolation of Pure Cultures Objective : i. To perform the spread plate and the streak plate inoculation procedure for the separation of the cells of a mixed culture so that discrete colonies can be isolated. ii. To prepare a stock culture of an organism using isolates from the mixed cultures prepared on the agar streak-plate and/or the spread plate. Introduction : In order to be able to adequately study and characterize a certain microorganism‚ microbiologists need to separate
