BIOS 242 Week 1 Lab 2 Isolation of Pure Cultures

BIOS 242 Week 1 Assignment; Lab 2 of 14 Onsite - Isolation of Pure Cultures Lab 2: Techniques for Isolation of Pure Cultures Learning Objectives: Isolate pure cultures from a mixed population of microorganisms using aseptic technique. Learn the streak plate method Introduction: Microorganisms exist in nature as mixed populations of different species. In order to study them and observe their characteristics it is first necessary to obtain pure cultures (a culture ...

BIOS 242 Week 3 Assignment; Lab 5 of 14 Onsite; Differential Staining Learning Objectives: Explain the principle of differential staining Apply differential staining to identify bacteria Differential stain uses two or more stains to specifically stain certain structures or cellular components which cannot be easily observed using simple stains. Differential staining principles are based upon the specific chemical nature and composition of cellular components and therefore, different s...

BIOS 242 Week 2 Assignment; Lab 4 of 14 Onsite; Simple Staining Lab 4: Simple Staining Learning Objectives: To learn about principle of staining To learn the process of simple stain To prepare wet mount slides In light microscopy, colored dyes, called stains are used to improve contrast between the specimen and the background surrounding the specimen. Staining makes visualization of the specimen easier due to increased contrast. This is crucial for specimens that are mostl...

Lab 2: Techniques for Isolation of Pure Cultures Learning Objectives: • Isolate pure cultures from a mixed population of microorganisms using aseptic technique. • Learn the streak plate method Introduction: In this laboratory exercise, colonies from mixtures of Escherichia coli and Serratia marcescens will be isolated using the four-way streak method as summarized below (Figure 1). We will need this image from Materials: A 24 hour nutrient broth mixture of Serratia marsecens ...
