Column 1 will list ALL characteristics you have identified or tested (include a Gram reaction, shape (morphology), and size). Column 2 will include the results for your unknown (the heading should read unknown #14). Column 3 will contain the results for your identified organism (taken from Bergey’s or other sources). Please provide a footnote/citation to indicate the sources of your different information. For example, How do you know that organism “Genus species” is acid from glucose +? Citations tell me where you looked that up.
