[11 July 2005] Inoculation
|
Hah! Did I make a good smear or what?!? BTW, that's my 2nd unknown, inoculated in a nutrient agar plate. I'm posting my results here just in case anyone might stumble upon my blog and know what organism my unknown is, based on the information below.
Gelatin: (-) solidified TSI: (A/A) yellow slant, yellow butt; presence of cracks and bubbles; no blackening Urea: (+) red (cerise) solution SIM: (+) motile; (+) red ring Nitrate: (+) brownish red solution Carbohydrates: Glucose: (A) yellow solution, no bubbles Lactose: (A) yellow solution, no bubbles Maltose: (A) yellow solution, no bubbles Mannitol: (A) yellow solution, no bubbles Sucrose: (-) red solution, no bubbles MRVP: MR: (+) red ring VP: (-) light/mocha brown solution Citrate: (-) green medium
And of course, take a look at my plate. There's growth in 3 quadrants. Our MS classmates can identify their bacteria by just looking at the growth on their agars. WOAH.
On my way home today, I wanted to scream at the driver, "ARE YOU DRUGS!?!?!" OMG. First of all, he almost ran over a motorcycle. And then, the vehicles were kind of moving slowly... but there are such things as brakes, right? Geez, he hit the jeepney in front of his. And he just laughed! The people in the other jeep got the shock of their lives. Then while we weren't moving, he kind of rested his head on the wheel... and OMG, he fell asleep. The cars in front were moving, and we were just there for about 20 seconds.
Congratulations to our very own Fighting Maroons for winning their first game of the season!!!!! Woohoo!!!
I'll be driving (by myself) soon! I've been practicing for 2 weekends already, and my parents said I'm getting better! In fact, I drove for them the whole day Saturday. Yay! We'll have our black car painted after I've proven myself to be a scratch-free driver. Hehehe... coz the big scratch at the bumper is my fault.
Gotta go! 2nd screening of 3rd batch of applicants for Chorale! Muahahahaha...
