Determining the Identity of an Unknown Bacterium: A Comprehensive Analysis of 10 Tests

Attached as a Word Document are the 10 tests you will complete/describe to determine an unknown bacterium species. Please make sure you complete all 10 tests on your handout. DO NOT complete 1 or 2 tests and select a bacterial species based on just those 1 or 2 tests. You must describe all 10 tests, then go through the Key/Species Slow Chart, then select the bacteria that matches ALL 10 tests. You will not select the correct species if you base it on a few tests instead of all 10. A reminder that the data letter, Data A, B, C, etc. has no relation to the potential unknown species. These are random labels. Project guidelines, deadlines, and rubric can be found on D2L and TopHat under Week 12. Please make sure you know the deadline, as no extensions will be provided and no late work accepted for this project.
