This week I was able to successfully identify my unknown. After incubating the SIM test, all I needed to do was wait. I had also started an Indole test in case I had positive for sulfide on the SIM. Well the SIM test turned out to be negative for acid and positive for motility. Please find a picture below to illustrate. This results indicated I had Escherichia coli.
After successfully identifying my unknown, it was time to start working on my research paper and presentation for this Thursday and Friday. So far I have finished the abstract and background info parts. Although the dateline seems very close, I am sure we will all be able to finish our work and turn in!
