Discuss how the Descriptive Chart is used to collect and organize your da (What are these categories?) Describe the process used to eliminate organisms from the strike chart. (What do you How many strikes to eliminate?) strike? Discuss the design of your flow chart using only necessary tests. List those necessary tests but not your results for them nor the organisms eliminated by them. Cite the source of the data on your strike chart in parenthetical in-text APA citation format. Conclusion (approximately 1-3 complete sentences) Give identity of unknown using proper nomenclature. 04-29-24 (Due when final paper is due) Add info regarding your unknown (habitat, size, etc.) with 2 proper APA parenthetical citations Discuss any issues & how they were resolved. *This entire Unknown Project Summary should be written in 3rd person as a proper paper us complete sentences (no bullets) to develop proper paragraphs.

Unknown Microorganism Identification This project aimed to identify an unknown Gramnegativerodshaped bacterium using a combination of biochemical testsThe process involved a descriptive charta strike chart also known as a decision treeand a flowchartall working together to systematically eliminate possibilities and arrive at the most likely identification Descriptive Chart The descriptive chart served as a starting pointrecording the organisms initial observations like colony morphologymotilityand Gram stain reactionThis information provided a foundation for further testing Strike Chart Decision Tree The strike chart guided the selection of subsequent biochemical testsEach test result positive or negative helped narrow down the possibilitiesAn organism would be struck out eliminated from the list if its expected test result did not match the observed outcomeTheres no set number of strikes for elimination the process continues until only a single organism remains or a limited number of possibilities require further differentiation Flowchart Design The flowchart was designed to optimize the testing process by minimizing unnecessary stepsIt considered the most informative tests firststrategically eliminating the largest number of possibilities with each testThe specific tests used depended on the organisms characteristics revealed in the initial stepsHoweversome commonly employed tests in such flowcharts for Gramnegative bacilli might include Urea test Citrate test Methyl red test VogesProskauer test if Methyl Red positive Nitrate test Indole test depending on the path in the flowchart Oxidase test depending on the path in the flowchart Motility test in some cases Data Source The specific biochemical test ...
