Unknowns Project 2

9 October 2012

After finishing all of my responsibilities for this lab, I checked on my unknowns to see if anything grew. The two plates that I inoculated with samples from the 2 different pigs exhibited a large amount of growth in the two day period since their inoculation (Figs. 1-3).

From the Pig 1 plate,  I tried to isolate some of the fuzzy white colonies with dark green dots onto their own plates (Fig. 4). From the Pig 2 plate, I attempted to isolated the pink fuzzy colonies and the white fuzzy colonies onto their own plates (Fig. 4).

I'm going to let these grow a little bit more before I attempt to identify what they are.

All for now,
