Unknown Microbiology Lab Report Essay

The purpose of the following study is to determine where the two unknown bacteria acquired in Microbiology lab should be classified in regards to temperature, pH level, and osmoregularity. It is important to classify bacteria in order to identify them. Identification of bacteria is important because they are not only useful but potentially dangerous as well. The identification of bacteria can lead to breakthroughs in healthcare regarding treatment of old and new diseases alike. Identifying bacteria…

Lab Report #1: Observing Bacteria Microbiology Abstract: This lab exercise familiarized the student with the use of a microscope by observing and identifying various different slides under the microscope. The student practiced observing the given slides under the 10x, 40x, and 100x (oil immersion) objective lenses, which allowed for the identification of the different organism’s shapes and sizes. Purpose: The aim of this exercise is to equip the student with the knowledge…

Introduction: The study conducted was to determine the unknown bacterium that was given by the Microbiology lab instructor. The purpose of this exercise is to go through a series of testing in order to identify a microorganism, how it grows, reproduces and how the bacteria can be treated and killed. The techniques involved in this study included; what type of agar to use, inoculating, proper sterilization, gram staining and how to handle bacteria in order to avoid contamination. Materials and…

Lab Report A differential staining procedure used in microbiology is called the Gram stain. The significance of the Gram staining procedure is that it differentiates the bacteria into two groups. The Gram reaction of a bacterium adds valuable information for the treatment of disease. The Endospore stain is a special stain that is used to determine the presence of endospores in bacteria. This stain is used to detect if certain bacterium cell contain highly opposing spores within their…

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. Scientific…

1. Title: The Process of Determining the Unknown Bacteria #9 Rachel Judecki July 5, 2011 2. Introduction: Each student was given unknown bacteria and was instructed to perform a variety of experimental tests that would help to identify their bacteria. During the process of identification, the unknown bacteria was added to many different testing medias using aseptic technique.
