    A. ELISA test

    Record the appearance of each of the wells here.

    B. Biolog

    Record your Biolog results below.

    Describe the colony that you picked for Biolog (color, etc.): _________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________

    Use the sheet on the next page to record your results. In each box, write “+” if the well appears positive (purple color), “-” if there is no color change, and “+/-“ if the result is borderline (light purple).

    Your instructor will show you how to enter your results into the database to achieve an identification.

    An example of what a Biolog plate looks like is shown below.
