Lab 9/13: Isolation of Bacteria Part III

This week, we took a sample of our bacteria and did 2 things:

1) We made 2 stained slides by putting the bacteria on the slides and dropping 2 different color stains on it (Crystal Violet and Saffron).

2) We got an unknown sample (Sample C) and prepared an Agar Slant. The test tube said the bacteria should be incubated in 30 degrees Celsius, so we put it in the 30 degree Celsius incubator and we'll take it out on Thursday, The color of our sample was whitish yellowish.

For both parts of this lab, we used the  Aseptic Technique by sterilizing the loop every time we used it to transfer the bacteria to different petri dishes or containers, and we flamed the test tubes when transferring the unknown bacteria from the original test tube to the two others.
