Unknown Lab Report April 25th‚ 2006 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures

Introduction:The objective throughout the gram staining experiment was to classify bacteria through their chemical nature as well as the physical structure of their cell walls. Through this experiment one would be able to observe either a thick or thin layer of peptidoglycan by the appearance of the bacteria staining either gram-positive blue-purple or gram-negative pink. Question: Is there a subsequent effect of the bacteria when decolorizing with alcohol? Hypothesis: If there is either a removal

Gram Stain: The important part of this experiment is being able to determine a bacterium based on its cell wall structure. It also helps indentify if the unknown organism is a Gram positive or Gram negative. This is the initial step that must be taken before any other lab procedure may continue on to ensure the purity is present‚ the arrangement of the cells‚ and the shape the cell has. The staining of the cell starts off with using the primary stain‚ Crystal Violet which is a purple color‚ to begin

My journey to the unknown started about three weeks before the end of my microbiology class at Brunswick Community College. This journey started out with a media plate cultured with an unknown species of bacteria. I was then instructed by my professor to use all of my previous knowledge to identify the unknown bacterial pathogen. This lab led me to master my skills of using the Gram stain‚ testing for catalase‚ testing for coagulase and using the oxacillin screen. Now I am going to take you with

Gram Staining Introduction Prokaryotes are a large group of organisms with no membrane bound organelles. They consist of two domains: Archaea and Bacteria. These organisms are only found in extreme environments such as volcanoes. Prokaryotes are still being researched and are a very diverse group. In this lab we focused on trying to identify if the bacteria found had a lot of peptidoglycan by gram staining. Testing this could be done by using a Petri dish full of agar and testing different bacteria

In a brief essay‚ identify at least two of the implications implicit in the society reflected in the poem. Support your statements by specific references to the poem. The Unknown Citizen Comment [ANn1]: OK‚ so I need to IDENTIFY two implications implicit in the society. I need to make sure I’m speaking only to the society reflected IN the poem. I’ll make sure to quote the poem itself. by W. H. Auden (To JS/07 M 378 This Marble Monument Is Erected by the State) He was found by the

State the principle of triple beam balance A beam balance measures mass as opposed to weight‚ so the mass you weigh will be the same on the moon as it is on earth. Gravity is taken out of the equation‚ unlike a spring balance that measures weight and would measure an article to be 1/6 of the weight on the moon as it would be on earth using the same spring balance that relied on gravity. The principle is that of moment‚ or turning force/torque)‚ calculated by force x distance. Fundamentally‚

NAME: PRAJWAL BHARADWAJ Ampicillin‚ Vancomycin‚ and Tetracycline Effectiveness on Gram Positive and Gram Negative Bacteria. INTRODUCTION: Bacteria are microbial organisms which are present in various environments. Many bacteria are good and help humans synthesize materials and assist in biological processes‚ such as digestion. However‚ some bacteria can cause harmful diseases. When harmful bacteria infects the body‚ people take antibiotics in order to suppress bacteria. Different antibiotics have

microbiology‚ the need to identify an unknown microbe may arise. This aids in the recognition of which microbes are harmful or pathogenic as well as those that may be beneficial to us in some way. This report will detail how a similar project was performed in order to identify two unknown micobes using the techniques that were learnt during the course of the semester. We embarked on the project with the knowledge that we would have to identify a Gram(+) as well as a Gram(-) from the species that were given

9:00Am-11Am Unknown Number 94 Unknown Results Streptococcus salivarius The first step in my unknown identification was to carry out a gram stain to observe the cell shape and arrangement. My unknown turned out to be gram positive bacteria cocci shaped with long chain cell arrangement. The unknown was gram positive because the cells stained blue-violet ‚this indicate that my unknown has ability to retain crystal violet-iodine after alcohol application on the cells which is a gram positive characteristic
