Mycobacterium smegmatis

Thu Phan Khanh Nguyen Dr. Jennifer Bess MCB - 2000L - 87248 11 April 2024 Unknown Lab Report: Unknown #20 Unknown Number: #20 Bacteria identified as Enterococcus casseliflavus. Introduction: Many bacteria have existed for hundreds of millions of years that we have not yet discovered. Those bacteria can survive under the thawing layers of ice, so when it melts, they are awakened and become strongly active. These bacteria are consumed by plants and animals, whom we also consume as our daily…

In this lab report a number of tests and results will be discussed. Unknown labs are performed for many reasons ranging from figuring out the causative agent in a diseased patient, to knowing the correct microorganism to use when making certain foods and antibiotics. Unknown labs are a key to testing the knowledge a student has gained throughout the course. Materials: Microscope Bunsen Burner Beaker Test Tube Holder Test Tube Clothes pin Striker Loops and Needles Distilled Water Crystal…

Materials and method Microorganisms are classified in to the three domains of life. The organism that is predominately found in our environment is bacteria closely followed by archaea and eukaryote. Although, microorganism might seem similar, they are different interims of their structures, biochemical composition, and the habitat they adopt. Conducting an extensive test on microorganism has many benefits. We can protect our self’s from different types of infectious disease. In the unknown…

This study is about isolating phage. The first step was to do an enrichment isolation then do a plaque assay and spot test. After that the next protocol was do a plaque streak, which was conducted numerous of times. Then serial dilution was conducted and RE Digests of Phage DNA as well. Last step was protocol 10.3, gel electrophoresis. The relevance of this study is important to field of biology because bacterial infections could be treated with bacteriophages. Bacteriophages can be a solution…
