Eosine and Methylene Blue EMB
The test for Unknown 361 showed a pink color, which signified that the fermentation occurred very slowly and poorly.
Procedure:
1. Obtain an EMB agar plate
2. Streak it with the appropriate bacterial culture using the quadrant streak plate method
3. This will result in the isolation of individual colonies.

Starch Amylose / Amylopectin Test
The results for this test on the Unknown 361 were positive.
Procedure:
1. Use a fresh (16- to 18-hour) pure culture of test bacteria as an inoculation source.
2. Pick a single isolated colony and either single streak or spot inoculate the surface of the agar medium.
3. A single starch agar plate can be divided into four quadrants for four different inoculations except for …show more content…

Inoculate the test agar medium: There are two types of inoculation that can be done.

Phenol Red Broth – Glucose, Lactose, Sucrose
The test results are as follows: for glucose, lactose, and Unknown 361 tested A/-, meaning that acid was produced, but no gas and it tested K for sucrose meaning that there was alkaline production.
Procedure:
1. Obtain one tube for each sugar, usually one for glucose, lactose, sucrose, mannitol. Do not get them confused, they look the same, it is suggested that they be labelled immediately if they are not already labelled.
2. Observe the tubes before you begin. They should have an inverted Durham tube that is filled fully with broth (they are to test for gas production).
3. Do not use a tube if it does not have a full and inverted Durham tube or it looks wrong or contaminated.
4. Label each tube appropriately including the sugar initial if needed.
5. Use your wire loop to aseptically inoculate each tube with your unknown bacteria. Do not cross contaminate your tubes with the wrong sugar, flame your loop between inoculations.
6. Remind your instructor to set up un-inoculated control tubes. You will need these for a comparison. Place your tubes in the rack provided for this test. Your instructor will incubate

Develop a Hypothesis If seven mentos to a 2L bottle of Diet Pepsi, then it will create the biggest geyser out of Coke, Fanta, & Root Beer because Diet Pepsi has potassium benzoate, aspartame, and the carbonation which react to mentos. Design an Experiment Materials List: 1 clear test tube 35 original flavored Mentos candies (2 1/2 rolls) 1 3x5 index card 4 2L bottles of soda (all different flavors/types) 1 2L bottle of soda water 1 100 mL graduated cylinder 1 400 mL beaker 1 pair of tweezers (preferably large) 1 small container Procedure: Stack seven mentos in the test tube When given permission take the test tube, soda bottles, index cards, and the remaining 25 mentos, to the designated area Place one of the four soda bottles on a flat area Open the soda bottle and place the 3x5 index card over it With the index card over the soda bottle, flip the test tube over and place it on the index card, so the test tube is lined with

    First, it was hypothesized that test tube "A", the control, would not show any red concentration, test tube "B" which contains supernatant II would show the most red concentration and test tube "C" which contains sediment II would only show a little red concentration. The second hypothesis states that the raw corn kernels would have mitochondrial activity while the boiled corn kernels would not. The last hypothesis interprets that the "gunk" and sediment I will both contain starch granules. It was only expected to find mitochondrial activity in Supernatant II. Unfortunately, after performing this experiment, we were not able to support this hypothesis and come up with a conclusion.

    The first task that I had to do upon receiving my unknown was making two subcultures of it. The “stock” culture would serve as my emergency backup in case my bug got contaminated, while the “working” culture was the one I would utilize to perform the biochemical tests. The next thing I did after this was the gram stain. The purpose of this was to find my bug’s gram designation and morphology so that I would be working in the right direction. My bug retained the safranin stain which meant it was gram negative.

    To begin, one must test for monosaccharides. Glucose is necessary, and is needed to be placed into a test tube at a quantity of 5 mL. 3 mL of Benedict’s solution is then added. The test tube is then placed in a beaker of boiling water for five minutes or until the color changes. If the color changes, then it is known that monosaccharides are present in the solution. Next, one will test for starches.

    According to the series of test that my group ran for our unknown specimen, we had a match with the bacteria known as Alcaligenes Faecalis. This bacterium belongs to one of the major group of gram-negative bacteria (Phylum Proteobacteria). Alcaligenes Faecalis (Genus, species) is a rod shaped (bacillus), 0.5-1.2 x 1.0-3.0 µm, round with scalloped margin (colony configuration growth), motile (with one to nine peritrichous flagella), gram-negative, non-fermentative bacteria, obligate aerobic, having oxygen as the principal terminal electron acceptor in the electron transport chain (ETC). We consider we have a match with the species Alcaligenes Faecalis because of the following reasons: Fermentation tests performed (Durham sugars) were negative, which indicate that our bacteria use a different metabolic means for growth (non-fermentative gram-negative bacteria).

    The iodine test determines the presence of starch in biological materials. It is predicted that, if starch is not present, the solution with iodine remains yellow. However, if starch is present the solution with iodine becomes a blue-black colour. Plants have starch as the storage polysaccharide (glucose units held together by glycosidic bonds) while animals have the equivalent of glycogen. In this experiment, the dark blue colour is visible because of the helical amylose and amylopectin reacting with iodine (Travers et al., 2002).

    From the Unknown tube professor Cooper gave me, I scratched a little on the slant surface with the sterilized inoculating loop. Then I place it on a clean prepared slide which already had a slight drop of water. The two substances are mixed together in the middle of the slide and let dry completely. One extra step of “heat fix” is necessary to adhere everything to the surface of the slide. To start gram staining, I slightly pour crystal-violet all over the slide and let it sit for 30 seconds before wash it off with water.
