BISC209/S11: Lab8

Culturable Bacteria Isolates Characterization continued

Special Stains:
Perform appropriate special stains as indicated. All isolates growing from your dried soil extract on Glyerol Yeast Extract Agar (GYEA) medium that are potential spore formers should be stained for endospores. Only slimy or mucoid colonies should be stained with the capsule stain and only motility positive isolates on SIM medium should be tested by hanging drop or the flagella stain.
Directions for stains are found in the Protocols section of the wiki.
Stains : Simple, Gram, Endospore, Capsule, and Motility Tests

Read last weeks tests; finalize confirmatory testing for motility if your SIMS test was positive or ambiguous. Directions for the Hanging Drop and Flagella stain can be found in the Motility Tests section of the Protocols.
