replace the information provided by your textbook, lab manual, or Professor Nguyen. This is meant to be a supplement to the aforementioned sources. GO TO LAB You will be tested on lab material Almost NO make-up labs. Be well prepared Read ahead of time Know the basic materials, procedures, and biological processes Complete your labs Again, no make-up labs Pay attention to your labs You will be tested on them. Make sure you record your results Be mentally active Think about what is going on during your lab (theory) Some things aren't explicit, you will need to think critically Take good notes in your lab journal Pictures help too Understand your lab before you leave Unknowns Procedures Different tools, reagents, and types of media used The theory behind the experiment Be able to identify different results Be able to explain the results (both wrong and right) Be able to identify mistakes Safety is usually fair game on quizzes and tests in most science classes; as are the lab rules Safety rules are there for you Shoes Hair Lab rules are there to make sure you have a proper lab to attend. Not being safe and not following rules can lead to a cut in participation points. Mainly for you to learn how to use a microscope properly Essential skill for microbiology. You must know how to use a microscope Use proper procedures before, during, and after microscope use Still may be tested on the microscope Parts, magnification. Will benefit you for the rest of the semester. If you do it well, your results will turn out Unknown project Key to remember is that microorganisms are EVERYWHERE Pay attention to morphology or it will haunt you during your unknown. Know why the stain works Inside of cell is transparent and negatively charged Basic stains are positively charged (chromogen) Part that gives color is chromophore Part that has a charge is auxochrome Opposites attract Heat-fixing Pros: kills the cell; adheres cell to slide; coagulates cytoplasmic protiens to make the more visible Cons: distorts the cells; some organisms are too delicate to withstand heat-fixing Know types of basic dyes EG: methylene blue, safranin, crystal violet General rule, if dye stains the inside of the cell, the dye is basic Know the basic procedures, especially the bacterial smear Fundamental staining procedure. Also see section "Bacterial structure and Simple stains Morphology of bacteria on a microscopic level as opposed to the macroscopic colony morphology Shapes, how many form, how they are clustered Another skill you will need to use throughout the semester You will have multiple attempts Unknown project Acidic dye Negative chromogen EG: nigrosin, eosin Used to identify bacteria that are too delicate to withstand heat-fixing One of the more important differential stains in microbiology Has clinical significance Steps Heat -fixed emulsion Crystal Violet; rinse with DI water Iodine; Rinse with DI water Decolorize with ethanol or ethanol/acetone; Rinse with DI water Counterstain safranin; Rinse How does the gram stain work? Gram positive and gram negative cells have structurally different cell walls Gram positive: thicker, peptidoglycan layer with more cross linking from teichoic acid Gram negative: thinner, more lipids Primary stain is CV Can pass through both types Iodine acts as a mordant Binds to CV forming crystal violet-iodine complex; essentially a larger molecule than CV alone Decolorization VERY IMPORTANT STEP Must do properly to get good results Alcohol/acetone removes lipids from cell walls; makes the wall more porous Gram negative: CVI washes out Gram positive: CVI stays Counterstain CVI overpowers safranin so gram positive stays purple Gram negative turns red
