Purpose Solve the identity of an unknown bacterial specimen by creating a dichotomous key and using the staining, culturing and biochemical identification procedures you have learned about during the semester. Possible Organisms Alcaligenes faecalis Enterobacter aerogenes Enterococcus faecalis Escherichia coli Proteus vulgaris Pseudomonas aeruginosa Salmonella arizoniae Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcus epidermidis Staphylococcus saprophyticus Streptococcusbovis Streptococcus pyogenes You must write up your OWN dichotomous key for all the possible unknown organisms listed on above. Writing this key requires you use the same type of reasoning used in the Dichotomous key lab. The first step of the key will be the Gram Stain. Subsequent steps will include biochemical tests only. Please help me with this question. Thank you so much !

Subculture and Colony Morphology Descriptions Following identification of the Gram-negative isolate and Gram-positive isolate, you next subculture each onto fresh nutrient agar plates. Briefly describe the subculture process in three or so sentences and what this allowed you to achieve; follow this with colony morphology descriptions of each. Description: Isolate A – Describe: Colony morphology: Medium & incubation temperature: Isolate B – Describe: Colony morphology: Medium & incubation temperature:
A class of 15 students (8 males and 7 females) will need to culture an unknown bacteria for a specific activity where 5 nutrient agar pates per female student and 3 agar slants per males student are needed to prepare. agarplate: 25mL Agar slant: 10mL Broth tube: 8mL Nutrient Agar: Yeast extract: 2g/L peptone: 5g/L Sodium chloride: 5g/L Agar powder: 15g/L
MALDI-TOF, is a method for identifying bacteria quickly. Look at this graphic then put the steps in order. Please follow a pathway of steps involving the Bacterial Culture: Get a readout of species identification and (sometimes) whether it is resistant or susceptible to antibiotics. Use colony from a nutrient agar plate. Prepare the sample, run it through MALDI-TOF machine. Grow a clinical sample on nutrient agar.
