DIFFERENTIAL & SELECTIVE MEDIA ADDITIONAL REQUIRED LAB READINGS
Here are brief summaries of some of the various subtopics and concepts introduced in this laboratory, kind of like really good lab notes.
Aseptic Technique
Bacterial Colony Morphology
Bacterial Growth Media
- Differential & Selective Bacterial Growth Media: MacConkey's, Mannitol Salt & Blood Agar
- Cellular Metabolism: What Is Fermentation?
The images linked here directly relate to the lab exercise and are designed to help students review and study that lab material while outside of lab.
NOTE: Students must review all material in categories highlighted with red titles PRIOR TO ATTENDING LAB in order to be prepared to participate.
DIFFERENTIAL & SELECTIVE MEDIA LAB PPTs
The lab PowerPoints used in the Virtual Microbiology Classroom are designed to help introduce students to each lab topic.
- Lab #3: Differential & Selective Bacterial Growth Media Lab PowerPoint Show
- Lab #3: Differential & Selective Bacterial Growth Media Lab PDF Printout
Printing: The best way for students to print out the PowerPoint Show is to download the PDF version. Select Print, and, when the Print screen comes up, go to the Print Handling options. Under Page Scaling, select "Multiple pages per sheet", Under Pages per sheet, select "2". That uses up less paper, placing two slides on each page.
DIFFERENTIAL & SELECTIVE MEDIA LAB DOCUMENTS
The Lab Project Instructions provide a thorough explanation of the lab topic, as well as detailed directions on how to complete the lab exercise. The Lab Report Template is what the students use to develop the lab report of this project that will be turned in.
