2.       Did you use correct grammar, punctuation and spelling in your report?

3.       Did you provide a credible and well-supported explanation of what the methyl red test determines?

4.       Did you provide a credible and well-supported explanation of what the Voges Proskauer test determines?

5.       Did you provide a credible and well-supported discussion of which of the organisms, if any, fermented glucose?

6.       Did you provide a credible and well-supported discussion of which of the organisms, if any, produced measurable acidic by-products?

7.       Did you provide a credible and well-supported explanation of why organisms would have different biochemical pathways to metabolize glucose?
