Construct a on the isolates from your soil community (your isolates and your teammates from the same sampling site) and write a complete results narrative. You should include in the table: Gram stain, description of the colony morphology, description of the individual bacteria's structural characteristics including shape & arrangement (cocci, rods, with descriptors ie., large, small, bullet shaped, in chains, etc.), evidence of spores (either endospore stain positive or visualization of empty areas in vegetative cells on Gram stain), motility, etc. Include test results that you will use as evidence for metabolic diversity or community behavior, ie. nitrogen cycling capabilities, fermentation of mannitol, etc. Make separate figures from photographs of the interactions assays for your soil sample and another from a photo of a positive antibiotic production assay (if your soil sample showed such a positive) and analyze those data in your narrative. Post your table to the Data folder for each soil sampling site so your classmates can access and use this information for the other bacterial members of each soil community. |
