The bacteria used in the experiment are Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Salmonella pneumonia. These all bacteria will be culture in the nutrient broth.

The first stage is making Nutrient Broth. Weigh out 5.8 grams of nutrient broth powder. Dissolve completely the nutrient broth powder in beaker containing 200 ml of distilled or the deionise water. Then the mixture is transfers to the vials. Those vials are autoclave and sterilise at 1 atmosphere pressure in the temperature of 121 ℃ within 15 minutes. The nutrient Broth vials are inoculate with bacteria. The 200-600 µl of bacteria are the amount of bacteria that is will inoculate into broth. These all vials then incubate for 16 to 20 …show more content…
Weigh out 16.80 grams of agar nutrient powder. Then add and dissolve agar nutrient powder in conical flask containing 600 ml of the deionise water. Both these flask are autoclave and sterilise at temperature of 121 ℃ about 20 minutes at 1 atmosphere pressure. After the autoclave is done for these flask containing the agar nutrient, it will be let cool to 50 ℃. The mixture is swirl throughly to mix agar and nutrients. Then the nutrient agar are pour and fill 2/3 full roughly 25-35 ml per petri plate and allowed to solidify for 10 to 15 minutes. Use the spreader to uniformly spread the bacteria.

The next stage is the preparation of extracts. In this experiment which using the disk diffusion technique. This experiment use Calophyllum teysmanii, Calophyllum Andersonii and Calophyllum Canum extract and their pure compounds. Each of extracts and theirs pure compunds will weigh out 0.035 grams and will be dissolve with the 96% of ethanol. The disk was soak into the extract and then placed on the nutrient agar prepared. Then all the petri dish are placed in the incubator. The diameter of the ring appears on the nutrient agar was measured to determine the antimicrobial activity of each plant extract after 16 to 20

    Unknown Microorganism

    For the culture media tests, synthetic medium, tryptic soy broth (TSB), SF medium, MacConkey agar, and nutrient agar and glucose were used to detect if specific organisms would grow on each media. Synthetic medium is defined media and the contents are exactly known. A positive result would be if one could see cells within the medium after incubation, and means that the the media provides all the nutrients the organism needs to grow. A negative result would be a clear medium without physical signs of growth, and means that the organism requires supplementation. TSB is a complex medium in which the exact chemical composition is unknown.…

    Identifying Unknown Bacteria

    To identify unknown bacteria is crucial, especially in cases where a pathogenic infection were to occur. If we were not able to identify bacteria, infections would spread uncontrollably as there would be no way to know what treatment is necessary to successfully put an end to them. The ultimate purpose of this experiment is to be able to practice identifying unknown bacteria under a series of tests, to further familiarize ourselves with the characteristics of certain bacteria and how they react.…

    On the third day, I put the bacteria that were in the broth tube on differential media. I chose to put the bacteria on EMB and Pseudo P plate, because I believed that the bacteria was either Escherichia coli or Pseudomonas aeruginosa, due to the shape and the fact that the mystery bacteria was gram negative. I also did a gram stain and the bacteria remained pink and bacillus or rod shaped. On the fourth day, I was able to observe the differential media. I noticed that on the Pseudo P plate the bacteria was a yellow color and on the EMB plate there was a small tint of metallic green color.…

    The lab instructor issued out a test tube labeled with letter ‘I’, which consisted of two unknown bacteria, Gram-positive or Gram-negative that were streaked from a pure culture. Sterile techniques were followed while performing precise instructions as stated in the referenced Laboratory Manual. Example 1: The first procedure performed was done by isolating a pure culture from the mixture onto a solid Trypticase soy agar (TSA) media. Sterile technique was done by flaming the loop until it turned red to ensure that there were no current bacteria on the loop avoiding contamination followed by rapidly flaming the neck of the test tube to prevent the entry and contamination of unwanted microbes.…
