Microbiology - Beatrice DeMarco
Pouch Presentation by Macropus rufus, Red Kangaroo for Cytological
Analysis
By Beatrice Francis Catherine DiDomenico
Class of 2020 - Major: Microbiology
Abstract:
This research analyzed the normal flora of the captive red kangaroo (Macropus rufus)
pouch. Behavioral training techniques were applied to further train the animal to allow for pouch
sampling. Ad libitum, scan sampling, and focal animal sampling are behavioral procedures
applied to determine a baseline of behaviors for female red kangaroos in captivity. This baseline
was utilized to design Behavioral Shaping Plan as per the guidelines mandated by the
Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and Staten Island Zoo. This Behavioral Shaping Plan
was curated to develop training techniques with a specific training goal of pouch sample
collection. Both Diff-Quik and Gram staining procedures were utilized to determine the presence
of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells of the captive female Macropus rufus pouch. Light
microscopy was utilized to capture and view images of the cells gathered from pouch samples.
This research identified that the Macropus rufus pouch has a presence of both eukaryotic and
prokaryotic cells. The pouch contains a higher presence of epithelial cells compared to
prokaryotic cells. Additionally, as per biochemical testing, the presence of Pseudomonas
aeruginosa was identified. This research developed a catalogue of eukaryotic and prokaryotic
cells present in the captive female Macropus rufus pouch.

Description
An account of the resource
This archive contains materials from Wagner’s annual ‘Senior Presentations.’ This event honors outstanding students from each discipline who completed their Senior Learning Community project with excellence. The work is representative of Wagner’s highest standards, and is exemplary of the diversity of subject matter, public-facing scholarship, and civic-minded professionalism our students have attained through their four years here. These students were specially invited to present their work in a formal setting, traditionally the day of Baccalaureate. Students are encouraged to present their work in a format appropriate for their discipline, and so, the presentations vary in their format. Some might be in the form of a short video, or paper abstracts, while others might be posters or music clips. We expect this archive to serve as a resource for generations to come. Congratulations to our Seniors!
