HOW TO WRITE AN UNKNOWN LAB REPORT IN MICROBIOLOGY GENERAL 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.
Abstract In this lab, we demonstrated that a plasmid could be inserted into the DNA of bacteria in order to alter the physical characteristics of the bacteria. We used biotechnology to manipulate the genetic code of the bacteria so that it would glow when exposed to a UV light. After a couple of days when the glow of the bacteria started to fade, it became apparent that the operon system that enabled the pGLO gene to take affect was stopping. Introduction Every living thing
Macromolecules Lab Kierra Lee Mrs. Denise Williams 4 February 2017 Caldwell Community College and Technical Abstract We tested honey, egg, saltine, and hamburger. We tested sugars using Benedicts solution and boiling water. We tested for starch using Lugol’s solution. We tested lipids using paper towls. Lastly, we tested proteins using Biuret’s reagent solution. The purpose of this lab was to test and see if honey, egg, saltine, and hamburger where either positive or negative
Conclusion Based on the experimental data gathered from this investigation, one of trends was catalase’s rate of activity in response to its manipulation of temperature at an increasing rate. For as the enzyme’s temperature was increased, its rate of reaction also increased until it reached above its optimum temperature and began to denature, of which supports what I stated in my hypothesis. From the comparison between the graph and what’s stated in my hypothesis, it is appropriate to indicate
Enzymes are a diverse category of proteins that are used in various biochemical systems to catalyze a particular reaction. They are vital in increasing the rate of reactions by up to 1017 which aids in the functioning of cells while having implications in medicine, biotechnology, and the food/pharmaceutical industries.1 The purpose of this experiment was to extract and purify an enzyme of interest known as acid phosphatase. The process of enzyme isolation is essential for using these proteins outside
1. Allow the seeds to germinate for three days prior to the experiment. Prior to the first day, soak them in water overnight. On subsequent days, roll them in a moist paper towel and place the towel in a paper bag. Place the bag in a warm dark place. Check each day to be sure the towels remain very moist. If time is short, the peas can be used after they have soaked overnight. For best results, allow them to germinate for the full three days. 2. The recommended numbers of peas for use in this experiment
“Procedure A: Investigating How Length Affects Pitch” Lab Report Brenna Ketchum Research Question: How does the length of how much a meter stick is hanging off of a table affect the pitch, when the meter stick is plucked, and how does the length of a kazoo affect the pitch, when it is hummed into? Hypothesis: For the meter stick tests, when there is 20 centimeters off of the table, the pitch will be high, and will not vibrate for very long. For the next test, when there is 40 centimeters off
The purpose of the lab is to study the effect of a chemical reaction, on the change in mass. Procedure: 1.Place Alka-Seltzer tablet into bottle cap. 2.Pour approximately ⅓ of bottle volume of water into the Coca-Cola bottle. 3.Using a scale, mass the bottle with water and the cap with the tablet. 4.Combine the two reactants by inserting the tablet into the bottle and by quickly screwing the bottle cap onto the bottle. 5.After the reaction occurs, mass the newly dissolved solution. 6
strain. Griffith named concluded this as transformation after the non-pathogenic strain transformed into a pathogenic strain. In 1944, Oswald Avery purified RNA, DNA, and protein from a virulent strain of bacteria. His experiments not only revealed how virulence the transformation from S. pneumonia was but, led to the recognition of DNA as a genetic material. The exact mode of transformation varies from one bacterial species to the next. DNA is transferred between bacteria using two main methods:
Discussion and Observations During the experiment, the solution was agitated at 350rpm for two flow rates, 80 mL/min and 100 mL/min . As seen in Figure 1, the 100mL/min flow rate solution dropped in pH faster than the solution with a 80 mL/min flow rate. This was due to the solution not being saturated at 80mL/min and able to conduct a chemical reaction. Another important observation was that due to the lack of data, some of the trends had to be predicted for both flow rates. This can be observed
