Alongside Carime and Brian, we gram-strained Caeni and D. Sono. I learned and properly gram-stained the bacteria and took pictures of our view. Around 02:30 PM, Emme and Brian gave a presentation on the research they have completed on the biochemical characteristics tests. Method: Gram-Staining Steps Wash and dry hands. Make sure you have all your materials . With the wax pencil, draw a circle in the middle of the slide to place the bacteria inside the circle. You also want to label the slide and place a clip to the end of the slide so that you are able to hold it over the fire. Turn on the bunsen burner. Hold the ‘rod’ over the fire for a couple of seconds (rod must be red) to sterilize. Your plate must be flipped over to easily access the bacteria a...
