Will Numair 5/2/2016 Bacterial Unknown Project: Unknown #18 Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to identify the species of an organism from a given TSB broth culture. Each student was given an unknown sample, and each sample had an assigned ‘sample number’ for post-lab verification by the professor. My sample number was #18. A list of possible organisms was given before any tests were run and a chart with the accepted test results for each organism was given as well. To correctly identify

Task 5 A. Explain what the methyl red test determines. Methyl red test is used to determine whether bacteria can perform mixed-acid fermentations when supplied with glucose (Ramakrishnan, & Sulochana, 2012). Methyl red test shows positive when the culture medium turns red after methyl red is added, because of a pH level of 4.4 or below from the fermentation of glucose. On the other hand, methyl red test is negative when the culture medium remains yellow, which occurs when

Do you think the social and cultural environments of the 18th and 19th centuries helped or hindered the study of microbiology in particular and science in general? Why? After reviewing all three videos I believe both the social and cultural environment of the 18th and 19th centuries both helped the study of microbiology and science. I feel this way because during this time, it was believed that illness were caused by outside influences like bad air, or divine punishment as stated in Pasteur and

Microbiology in the News Candice Shaw ITT Technical Institute Microbiology in the News The study in this article was done in a high volume TB/HIV clinic. The purpose of the study in this article was to experiment and see are there new ways to find out what stage a patient with TB is at who have also been affected with the HIV virus, as opposed to using the old ways of sputum microscopy and cultures to provide treatment. With this experiment, it showed that using the Xpert MTB/RIF testing allowed
