"Monera and Fungi Lab Activities"

Learn How to Identify Bacteria Using Several Different Staining Procedures

This lab features two experiments that let students determine the resistance of bacteria to tetracycline, an antibiotic. Developed by Edward Alcamo.

First test step in Identifying Pathogenic Staphylococcus.

Produce High-Titer T-Series Coliphages Without Setting Up an Aeration System

Students find the answers to such questions as how much bacteria does soap or mouthwash eliminate, and which mouth contains more bacteria — a human or a dog.

Observe a relationship between two organisms that together produce an effect they could not achieve individually.

Demonstrate a common diagnostic technique.

Study structure and motility of a variety of common slime molds

Ward's Antibiotic Effects Lab Activity includes everything students need to learn about antibiotics.

In this lab activity, students identify an unknown bacterial sample using gross examination, cell morphology, and biochemical tests with Becton-Dickenson EnteroPluri Tubes.
