A

If the result is positive, the bacterial cells will be lysed by the sodium deoxycholate or Sodium taurocholate, the suspension will lose turbidity, and DNA will be released from the lysed cells causing the mixture to become viscous. A mucoid “string” is formed when an inoculating loop is drawn slowly away from the suspension.

How to stain myco-plasma and urea-plasma

A

Dienes stain

Mycoplasma colonies can be identified by observing typical fried egg colonies on culture medium. Visualization is facilitated by application of Diene’s stain directly to the agar surface. Diene’s stain is a nonspecific stain that imparts a contrasting appearance to Mycoplasma colonies on agar. It allows easy visualization of colony morphology and characteristics.

confirm with…

A

Pink
zinc powder

if the medium turns red after the addition of the nitrate reagents, it is considered a positive result for nitrate reduction because it was reduced to nitrite.

If it’s clear either nitrate is present or it reduced past nitrite.
Confirm with zinc.

After zinc if it turns red, it’s a true negative, nitrate didn’t reduce.

If it’s clear after zinc, then nitrite was reduced further and is positive.
