Document Summary
Lab 1: observation of protists and fungi. Symbiotic relationship with coral, protozoa, mollusks, and worms. Green or yellow under microscope (since they are photosynthetic) Algae cell walls contain silica and calcium carbonate. Diatoms: die, shed silicon layer, and create diatomaceous earth. Basis of food chain in many aquatic ecology. Produce more than the oxygen that we breathe. Carbohydrate utilization by yeast results in carbon dioxide and/or alcohol. Under aerobic conditions (oxygen) some yeasts will produce carbon dioxide through aerobic respiration. Under anaerobic conditions (no oxygen) yeast produce carbon dioxide and alcohol through the process of fermentation. Molds belong to penicillium and produce green spore. Lab 2: bacterial cultivation and isolation techniques. Tryptic soy broth (tsb) and tryptic soy agar (tsa) is an all purpose medium. Turbidity is cloudiness which indicates bacterial growth. No information about the type of bacteria. Solid media was discovered to allow for the isolation of bacteria.
