I have to do a lab report using different types of activities. Im kind of confused on this topic and my professor isn't very much help. Im not sure if all of these can be performed together as one, or if I have to do everything separate: For example: i list materials for “nutrient agar”, list the step-by-step, and result of this 1 specific experiment, or if they're all related to each other. Here are the objectives and the description of my assignment. Thank you in advanced for your help!!!

Objectives:

1. Identify an unknown microorganism from a given broth culture using various selective media.
2. Perform an isolation streak of an unknown bacterium, and describe the color, shape, and margin of the resulting colonies.
3. Explain the steps used in a Gram stain and describe the cell wall structure, morphology, and arrangement of an unknown bacteria.
4. List the selective and differential components present in any media used, and explain the function of each selective and/or differential component.
5. Explain the biochemical test, identify the enzyme for which the biochemical test is assaying, and interpret the results.
6. Describe the rapid membrane test used on an unknown bacterium, and interpret the results.
7. Determine the genus and species of an unknown bacterium using the dichotomous key.
