Question 1. Using the data you collected in labs 6, & 7, determine the identification of the 2 unknown bacteria you worked with. Present this information in a table with a descriptive caption. The table should include calculations for how accurately each unknown was identified (% of tests in common)

Question 2. Which test(s) helped most in the identification of each unknown bacteria? Provide an example for each unknown.

Question 3. Which test(s) do you feel could be removed due to redundancy?

Question 4. Provide an example of an additional biochemical test which could be added to this assay. Make sure to include a reference for where you found this information.

Question 5. In your opinion, what part of the procedures could be altered to improve the accuracy of the experiment? Explain.

Question 6. In comparison to the method of identification through morphology and arrangement (staining and microscopy), are biochemical assays more or less accurate for identifying an unknown bacterium? Explain.

Question 7. Biochemical tests are often used to identify a specific bacterial species. How is this a limitation for a clinical application?

Question 8. Provide an example of an identification method which could be used to identify an unknown bacterium to the strain level (sub-species level). Include a reference for this example.
