How To Make A Flowchart For An Unknown Bacteria
Stay safe and healthy.
How to make a flowchart for an unknown bacteria. You will be given three bacterial cultures and asked to identify each to the level of genus. Although most bacteria are produced with single microscopic cells they are not as easy as previously believed. A variety of software have the geometric elements needed to deal with one group at a time by gram stain and shape. The organisms selected include types you have studied this semester and some new genera.
Bacteria can communicate with each other and coordinate their actions. To create a flowchart identify the common characteristics of the different groups of bacteria first to exclude non relevant groups and to more efficiently determine the bacteria present. Microbes can make a big difference. After determining the gram reaction specific biochemical tests were performed.
In this exercise you will draw upon many of your new skills to identify unknown bacteria. Quality control bacteria were gram stained along with the unknown to make sure that the gram stain reaction was done correctly.

To start your flow chart you will separate gram positive organisms from gram negative organisms using crystal violet selects for gram negative and phenylethlyl alcohol agar plates selects for gram positive. You will then confirm using a gram stain. Use pdf export for high quality prints and svg export for large sharp images or embed your diagrams anywhere with the creately viewer. The biochemical tests were chosen from the unknown identification tables that were in the lab manual.
Creately diagrams can be exported and added to word ppt powerpoint excel visio or any other document.
