1. Why did we use cow manure for this lab?
Solution:-It’s because cow's have a fecal composition contains a low amount of protein and a high amount of starch because of their highly fibrous diet which is a source of a starch degrading bacteria
2. What was the component in the agar which selected for starch degrading bacteria?
Solution:- . Amylase was the component in the agar which selected for starch degrading bacteria
3. What is the purpose of serial dilution?
Solution:- The Purpose of sequential weakening is to decide the quantity of microscopic organisms per unit volume in the original culture, determination of the culture density in cells per ml
4. What is the purpose of using a selective media?
Solution: - Selective media is used to allow the growth of certain type of organisms while hindering the development of different life forms
5. What was the purpose for the nutrient agar in this lab
Solution: - Nutrient Agar is used for general purpose it is utilized for the development of microorganisms supporting development of an extensive variety of non-particular living beings.

PLEASE READ THE QUESTIONS AND DIRECTION CAREFULLY BEFORE ANSWERING. (MICROBIOLOGY LAB) THANK YOU! Why do we use sugar as a component when performing triple Sugar Iron Agar tests? How do we know that the bacteria produced gasses as a result of metabolizing sugar? What is meant by a non-fermenter? Why can some organisms live with or without oxygen Why is a non-metallic instrument used in the Oxidase and O-F Glucose Tests experiment?
LAB REPORT 2- Selected questions from Exercise 3-7 (Acid-fast stain) Note: This is turned in after you have viewed your acid fast stain slides. Bacteria for this exercise are: Mycobacterium smegmatis (or M. phlei) and S. aureus. Q1. Acid fast bacteria are have some significant differences as compared to non-acid fast bacteria. What are the major chemical (structural) differences among these different bacteria that might explain the acid-fast stain? Hint: This structural difference also affects the way the bacteria grow...

Experiment 2: TSI The triple sugar iron agar (TSI) can identify gram negative bacteria based on how they metabolize carbohydrates. It contains three carbohydrates-glucose, lactose and sucrose, in addition to sodium thiosulfate which some bacteria use in the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). It also contains iron in the ferrous form and phenol red as a pH indicator. TSI is poured into a tube when heated to a liquid form, and the tube is slanted as...
