Activity 4: Learning Activities
Identification of Bacteria
Microbiology Lab Manual: Experiment #5 – Differential Staining (TaskStream task 211.2.2-04, 2.9-17)
-
Go to the online Lab Differential Staining. In this lab you will learn to use different types of staining techniques and also identify gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
-
Be sure to follow all safety precautions!!
-
Complete all portions of the lab. Write your lab report.
Bacteria Research
-
Investigate the following bacteria. Note their shape, size, behavior. What diseases do they cause and what is the method of causation? Note, there are four types of clostridium listed. Do they all cause the same disease effect? Why or why not?
-
Notice the scientific name of the organisms. Do these give you a hint at what disease they might cause?
-
Add the bacteria to your concept map. Make links for mode of transmission, disease caused, symptoms, body systems affected.
