Unknown Number 16 – Salmonella typhimurium Cindy Chai Rutgers University Microbiology for the Health Sciences Abstract This lab report was performed to identify the unknown organism, number 16, through various laboratory tests and techniques. The laboratory tests generated some critical results that suggested the unknown culture was Salmonella typhimurium. Some of the tests that led to the identification of the unknown organism included: the EMB agar plate that resulted as negative for lactose
Mixed Unknown Bacteria Lab Report Biology 2460-002 Jamuna Kadariya November 24, 2014 Unknown number: thirty-four I. Abstract There are many types of bacteria and they produce different enzymes. However, some bacteria can produce same enzymes. In order to identify the particular enzymes produce by each bacteria specific test needs to be done. Among various types of enzyme producing bacteria, gram- negative and gram-positive bacteria are given priority in our experiment. There are four main types
BASIC TESTS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF BACTERIA GRAM STAIN A. SMEAR PREPARATION The preparation of a smear is required for many laboratory procedures, including the Gram-Stain. The purpose of making a smear is to fix the bacteria onto the slide and to prevent the sample from being lost during a staining procedure. A smear can be prepared from a solid or broth medium. Below are guidelines for preparing a smear for a Gram-stain. Safety • Wear gloves • Avoid aerosols • Care must be taken when heat fixing
industrial mechanisms. Secondary biofuels can be produced in the form of solids (e.g. charcoal, fuelwood, wood pellets), or liquids (e.g. ethanol, biodiesel, butanol, pyrolysis oils and bio-oil), or gases (e.g. biogas, synthesis gas, methane and hydrogen) (Nigam & Singh, 2011). The secondary biofuels can be segregated into first, second and third-generation biofuels based on the substrate availability, technology maturity and GHG gas emission balance. (Bharathidasan et al. 2011). Research has provided
