Microbiology is requires not only an academic understanding of the microscopic world but also a practical understanding of lab techniques and procedures used to identify, control, and manipulate microorganisms. The proper identification of a microorganism is not only important in a microbiology lab but also in the medical, industrial, and pharmaceutical fields. In this lab report, lab techniques and procedures learned during this course were performed to assess each students’ practical knowledge

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. Scientific writing

Professor H. Valtierra Microbiology-Lab 152 4 December 2012 Unknown Lab Report There are many reasons for doing this unknown exercise report. This unknown lab exercise is applicable to real life situation. The reasons range from medical purposes, such as identifying and characterizing what microorganisms is causing the disease in a patient. Furthermore, treating the patient with the correct medications is another important factor. To identify an unknown bacterium, the lab exercise was done by applying

A critique of “Into the unknown” published by the economist (November 13, 2004.) Fear of losing jobs to offshoring (rise in unemployment), but computers and technology may take these jobs anyway. “Has the machines in its last furious manifestation begun to eliminate workers faster than new task can be found for them?” Article says not to worry. The United States has experienced an increase in the offshore outsourcing (offshoring) of jobs in the service industry. Although offshoring is common in

identify the unknown bacterium using biochemical tests and various methods that had been learned from previous the microbiology laboratory class. Identifying the unknown bacterium was determined by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. The differential tests used to identify the unknown cultures were Gram staining, oxidase, indole test, urea test, and casein test. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The unknown bacteria were given out by the lab instructor

Unknown Bacteria Lab Report #21 In Microbiology Lab, we learn the scientific method of streaking, staining, microscopy, aseptic culture, and selective and differential tests. These tests will help me identify my Unknown Bacteria. The first procedure I did was the isolation streak of my unknown out on a Trypticase Soy Agar. The purpose of Trypticase Soy Agar is to provide enough nutrients of the microorganism to grow. After I finish my isolation streak, my plate were incubated and grown. Once

and gram-negative bacteria. Such antibiotics are very important when time is limited in determining what kind of bacteria is causing a life-threatening infection. They are also beneficial when the exact bacteria that is causing the infection is unknown. Also, some infections are not just caused by one type of microorganism. However, there are certain types of bacteria that have developed resistance to broad spectrum antibiotics. Narrow-spectrum antibiotics are effective against killing just
