Summary Introduction

To describe: The reason for using two culture tubes for analysis.

Introduction: The experts in the field of microbiology are called microbiologists. They are involved in identifying and studying the different forms of pathogens. Their role is to understand the habitats and interaction of the pathogens inside the host. By doing so would provide accurate insight into the causative agents of the disease and its possible treatments.

Explanation of Solution

Two culture tubes are required for the microbial analysis. One culture tube is used to identify and view the particular microbes of interest by following the specific microscopical and staining techniques. The other culture tube is used for performing the other serological analysis that includes biochemical and immunological assays. Having two culture tubes would provide sufficient availability of the sample specimens for analysis with minimal possibilities of contamination.

Culture #:[Type here] Organism:[Type here] Name: Combination Media: Mystery Organism Identification You will be given a pure culture of one of three organisms. Your assignment is to identify which of the three possibilities is in your culture tube. To do this, you will use two different types of media: Mannitol Salt Agar and MacConkey's Agar. Complete the table below by predicting the reactions of each organism on each medium (Growth or no growth? If you expect growth, what color should it be?). Do this before coming to lab on the due date. The information about each organism below and the information found in the theory sections for the labs should help you make your predictions. If you complete this table correctly, it will be a big help to you while you try to identify MSA MAC your mystery organism!…
