Note: Create your own tables and do not attach the data sheets provided in the lab. Do not forget to
include results of your controls.
DISCUSSION: (25 points)
• Describe the steps that you used to find its identity.
• Note any difficulties that you experienced while working with unknown organism and how you
solved the problem.
• Were there any unusual or unexpected results? If so explain what may have been the cause of the
error.
• Were there one or more test(s) that didn’t fit the flow charts?
• Are there any other tests that you could have done to make this a better identification?
• Describe anything interesting about the identification process.
