Complete Appendix B to classify bacteria and identify a strain of bacteria responsible for a simulated food poisoning outbreak.
Appendix B – Identifying Bacteria
Bacteria identification is accomplished in a number of ways. Two common tools microbiologists use to identify unknown bacteria include dichotomous key and biochemical tests. The dichotomous key is useful when a microbiologist only needs to know which group an unknown microbe belongs to on a general level. When a microbiologist needs to identify a specific bacterium, biochemical tests are used.
PART ONE: GENERAL BACTERIA IDENTIFICATION
Review the dichotomous key in Figure A, the bacterial shapes in Figure B, and the Gram stain information below. You will use all three to determine to which major group unknown bacteria belong.

Shape Types:
Comma, or Club-shaped, rods = Vibrio
Rods = Coccobacillus, Bacillus
Spherical = Coccus
Spiral or Helical = Spirillium, Spirochete
|
Gram Stain Results:
Purple = Gram positive
Red = Gram negative
Neither purple nor red = No cell wall (neither Gram positive nor Gram negative)
