It may be helpful to prepare (or add to current) flash cards for each of the organisms introduced in this lab. The organism search on the course web cite will be helpful with this task. Remember that it is important to know how to write the scientific name (complete genus and species) of each of the organisms, for example, Stahylococcus aureus (It should be underlined if written by hand). Also include the distinguishing biochemical/physiological properties of each organism on your flash cards. This material will be covered on the next practical exam.
