  16. General Microbiology (BIOL 187) Laboratory Report (Unknown Identification) Page 1: Cover page Include your name, the unknown number and you final Genus and species identification Page 2: Test listing I want a (+) / (-) listing of each test in a vertical, easily scanned format Page 3: Discussion section Detail, in complete sentences, why your results justify your identification and rule out other possibilities. Page 4: About My Microbe section Research your microbe and give me a several paragraphs about your microbe. (Don't copy word-for-word from your textbook---This will be frowned upon!) Page 5: Dichotomous key Create a neat dichotomous key, which results in the correct separation of all 8 possible unknowns. This key should be legible and sized to occupy a complete sheet of paper (nothing microscopic is acceptable here) Page 6:Lab handout where you recorded your initial results Include the handout from lab where your recorded your data as you read the test reactions. Grading: 20 pts. Correct Identification 10 pts. Discussion section 7 pts. "About my microbe section" 8 pts. Dichotomous key 5 pts. Neatness, accuracy and completeness of report 50 points total

  17. Differential Identification of Enterobacteriaceae by Biochemical Tests. How do I interpret the table above?? + means 90% or more of the strains are positive - means 90% or more of the strains are negative + or - means most strains are positive but a significant number are negative - or + means most strains are negative but a significant number are positive (+) means a positive result may be weak or delayed in its occurrence d means different results can be obtained. Tests marked with a d would be unreliable for identification purposes.

  18. Lets make a dichotomous key !Where do I start?

  19. E.Coli Shigella flexneri Salmonella Citrobacter Proteus vulgaris Proteus mirabilis Enterobacter cloacae Enterobacter aerogenes - + Methyl Red Next…look for a test that distinguishes between the 2 methyl red negtive microbes

  20. The lysine decarboxylase test distinguishes between these 2 microbes

  21. E.Coli Shigella flexneri Salmonella Citrobacter Proteus vulgaris Proteus mirabilis Enterobacter cloacae Enterobacter aerogenes - + Methyl Red - + Lysine decarboxylase Enterobacter cloacae Enterobacter aerogenes NOW…look for a test that distinguishes between the 6 methyl red positive microbes.

  22. The phenylalanine deaminase test has 4 negatives and 2 positives for the 6 microbes that are not yet “keyed-out” It would be a possibility for the next choice.

  23. E.Coli Shigella flexneri Salmonella Citrobacter Proteus vulgaris Proteus mirabilis Enterobacter cloacae Enterobacter aerogenes - + Methyl Red - + - + Lysine decarboxylase Phenyalanine deaminase Enterobacter cloacae Enterobacter aerogenes E.Coli Shigella flexneri Salmonella Citrobacter (these 4 still need to be “keyed-out” from each other) Proteus vulgaris Proteus mirabilis (these 2 still need to be “keyed-out” from each other)
