Note that it is not appropriate to self-diagnose outside of a medical context and this is a completely hypothetical scenario. Imagine you have a rash on your foot. You're concerned that it's an infection and inoculate a sample onto an agar plate. You wonder, How can I figure out whether the pathogen is a bacterium vs a eukaryote? You decide to use lab supplies to get a basic understanding of the pathogen. Be specific about what tests you use and what you expect the results to be. Limit yourself to experiments we could do in our lab. What is a procedure you could do, involving making a slide of the organism?

Study stained specimens under magnification Detect the array of enzymes possessed by the microbe Direct Examination Blochemical Testing Phage typing or growth in animal cells/hosts Does not require cultivation Require cultivation Susceptibility Testing Use specialized media to isolate specimen and complete macroscopic observation Determine what antimicrobials are effective against the microbe Selective/ Differential Growth Miscellaneous
You have identified two colony types A and B on the streak plate. Now briefly describe (in 3-4 sentences) the process of how you identified the cellular morphology/arrangement of each isolate. Again, assume you have all the necessary equipment and materials at your disposal. Be concise and thorough, not verbose; e.g., refer to the Gram stain, but describing the details of each step is not necessary.
