Title: Preparing & Observing a Blood Slide/ Observing Bacteria Cultures in Yogurt
Purpose: The purpose of these two exercises is to observe bacteria. Not only in blood but in the things we eat as well, such as yogurt.
Procedure: We did two different exercises this lab. One consisted of observing bacteria in a blood sample, and the other was observing bacteria in yogurt. With the blood bacteria we took the slide and observed it under the microscope. We did a similar thing with the yogurt slide except to observe the bacteria in the yogurt we had to make a fresh sample. So on the first day of our lab we took a sample of yogurt and placed it on a petri dish and left it on the side until the next day. On the next lab day we took the sample of the yogurt in the petri dish and put it on a slide and then placed a cover slip on it to observe it under a microscope.
Observations: For the blood bacteria it had a lot of the circular figures. They seemed to be red/pinkish of a color. It seemed to be the red and white blood cells in the blood bacteria sample. We ten observed the fresh and prepared yogurt slides. In the prepared yogurt slide it had some purple blobs which were surrounded by the bacteria which looked like pallets. The bacteria in the fresh yogurt slide looked different. It seemed to be a little more circular with greenish like borders that were around the bacteria.
Questions:
Exercise 2
B. Yes, the prepared slide had staining so it was a lot easier to see the bacteria than the fresh slide. The bacteria in the prepared slide were in pallet shape. Like the shape of a small stick. the fresh slide had bacteria as well but it was in the circular shape with a ring like structure outlining the bacteria.
C.
1. Coccus: Spherical/oval shape, has one of several distinct arrangements based

Abstract: In search of the biodiversity of a forest area to determine the state of health of a forest area by collecting a sample of a forest area by counting micro-invertebrate organisms. The samples of the area’s organisms were counted and estimated for the total area of the forest. The biodiversity of the forest area indicated a relatively high biodiversity, concluding…
can be used to identify any individual. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to explore the repeating short sequences of nucleotides in human fingerprints and to learn more about DNA. Materials: Materials for the first procedure include a microwave oven, one agarose pour, one comb, electrophoresis gel tray, one roll labeling tape, micropipette, micropipette tips, aluminum foil, food dye in micro-tubes, plastic bags or wrap, lab write-up, and toothpicks. Materials for the second procedure are three…

Simulation of HIV – 1 Detection 12/03/2012 Purpose: The objective of the experiment is for students to understand the molecular biology of the human immunodeficiency virus and the pathogenesis of acquired immune deficiency syndrome. The experimental concepts and methodology involved with enzyme-linked immune sorbent (ELISA) assays will be introduced in the context of the clinical screening of serum samples for antibodies to the HIV virus. Background: Acquired immune deficiency syndrome…
Bacterial Identification Lab The purpose of the lab is to familiarize you with the science and techniques used to identify different types of bacteria based on their DNA sequence. Not long ago, DNA sequencing was a time-consuming, tedious process. With readily available commercial equipment and kits, it is now routine. The techniques used in this lab are applicable in a wide variety of settings, including scientific research and forensic labs. Basic Steps • Prepare a sample from a patient and…

Western Blotting is used to Identify a Subunit of Myosin Light Chain in the Proteins of All the Different Fish. Chae Yee Kent State University: BSCI 30140 Lab Abstract Western Blotting can be used to detect the Myosin actin light chain in different species of fish and is used to distinguish from different species based on variation, commonality, or evolutionary divergence. First, proteins are extracted from the tissue and loaded into a gel matrix. The matrix will separate the proteins according…
commonly refer to them as a “battery”. Half-cells are normally produced by placing a piece of metal into a solution containing a cation of the metal (e.g., Cu metal in a solution of a soluble salt that releases Cu2+ or Cu+ into solution). In this micro-version of a voltaic cell, the half cell will be a small piece of metal placed into three drops of a solution on a piece of filter paper. The solution contains a cation of…
