Purpose (Identification) statement, this Include your unknown number and proposed identification. This paper will not include the theory and background section just the results and conclusion sections. Results (in paragraph form) Only include the microscopic or macroscopic observations per test. You should have the results for each experiment you used to identify the unknown. This may be done in one or more than one paragraph. A chart of the tests and the observations of the results can be included but should also have text to describe it. Note: if you include a chart or images they should be labelled and mentioned in the text of the results. A chart or images alone are not sufficient for this section, paragraph text describing the results is required. Restate the unknown number and identification. List the tests performed to come to this conclusion. In the additional paragraphs you will describe the tests so just need to list them in this section. Paragraph 2: Gram stain – brief history of the test and its purpose -The major chemicals of the test and what they do to the microbes or by products produced. -What the results for the unknown organism tells you about the unknown organism’s structures or metabolism. -Which organisms (list each one in the text with proper formatting of bacterial names) were removed. Paragraph 3-?) on your next test: (should have at least one paragraph on each test that helped you identify your unknown) – brief history of the test and its purpose -The major chemicals of the test and what they do to the microbes or by products -The results for the test on your unknown and what it tells you about the unknown organisms structures or metabolism. -Which organisms (list each one in the text with proper formatting of bacterial names) were removed. Final Paragraph: Why is your microbe important? Where is it found? Medical or environmental significance? Do the results above tell you about metabolism or structure that are important for medical or environmental significance of the microbe?
