This week, I worked with a diffrent group since my partner was absent and she had not made a petri- dish for our group. We first did a grams test, which is a test which shows whether the bacteria is gram negative or gram positive. When we finished our test, it was concluded that the bacteria on the petri- dish was gram negative, since it was stained red. The bacteria on the petri- dish was from the chicken we tested. After this, we looked at our petri- dish under a stereoscope. A stereoscope has two eyepieces, unlike microscopes which have only one eyepiece. Under the stereoscope, Kassy and I saw many small rod like shapes in a certain area. They were rod shaped, we guessed that they must be some sort of baccilus. Katie and Alex researched about the four kinds of bacteria that could possibly be the one seen in the stereoscope. In the end, they figured out that the bacteria must be salmonella, since salmonella is often found in food, and also is rod shaped.
