INTRODUCTION Being able to identify an unknown specimen in microbiology is vital in the laboratory. The goal of this experiment was to isolate bacteria on a nutrient agar (NA) plate to obtain pure colonies of the unknown specimen. This study was done by applying the methods learned in Professor Sprenkles microbiology lab in determining the unknown bacterial growth present with use of pure culture colony morphology, cell morphology and arrangement, and Gram reaction.
MATERIALS AND METHODS The methods that have been taught for identifying a bacteria have been applied to determine the unknown bacterial growth. The first procedure performed was obtaining a culture from the NA plate, Section 2 “Handwashing Ex99”, which had previously been incubated
