Today we began lab by preparing a new sample of our unknown bacteria. We're preparing our bacteria and inoculating it to determine if it is motile or nonmotile bacteria. We'll have to wait until Thursday to know for sure, but this is what the bacteria should look like:
The anticipation is too much!
To test the bacteria's motility, we used the stab technique process. We used an semi-solid agar solution to inoculate our bacteria.
After we used the stab technique, we could see a line of bacteria in our test semi-solid agar solution. So cool!
Next we repeated the stab technique but this time inoculated our bacteria in a broth.

After we finished the inoculation, we put our bacteria in the incubator at 25 degrees Celsius. Now we wait!
