Q

For the decarboxylase test: describe the general reaction of this test, what does a positive result look like and why does the indicator dye bromocresol purple change color with a positive result? What was added to the top of the tube and why?

A

Testing for the ability to turn on the decarboxylase gene. A positive result is purple and changes due to the high pH due to a build up of amines. Mineral oil is added to block oxygen and induce fermentation.

Q

For MR test which bacteria had a positive result and what did it look like? What did it mean?

20
Q

s. aureus, acid fast pos or neg?

21
Q

Explain how the gelatin test works and what is meant by a positive result.

A

Bateria with gelitanase introduced to gelatin will liquify gelatin.

22
Q

Bacillus cereus gram pos or neg?

23
Q

For the indole production portion of the SIM test, which bacterias had a positive result and what did it look like?

A

K. oxytoca
E. coli
P. valgaris
pink layer on top when kovac’s reagent added

24
Q

What are the expected oxygen requirements for catalase-positive and catalase-negative species?

A

Positive: aerobic or facultative aerobe
Negative: anaerobe

25
What does the acid fast stain work on?
mycolic acid in the waxy cell wall
26
For the VP test, which bacteria had a positive result and what did it look like?
e. aerogenes, pinkish/red, fermentation with aceiton
27
What are the arrangments for bacteria? 6
diplo- two cells staphylo-cluster of cells strepto-chain of cells tetrad- four cells sarcina- eight cells plaisades- group of rods
28
What is the positive and negative result for spirit blue? What is it testing?
Testing for the production of lipase Positive: halo around growth Negative: no halo
29
For the sulfur production portion of the SIM test, which bacteria had a positive result and what did it look like?
P. valgaris, mostly black, H2S produced
30
What does a change from red to yellow mean in the phenol red test? Why is it changing?
fermentation is occuring. Changes to yellow because acid is produced.
31
Escherichia coli gram pos or neg?
negative
32
What enzyme does an organism have if it is starch positive?
amylase
33
Explain how the starch hydrolysis test is prepared and what do we add to read the test and why?
Use Starch agar and add iodine to allow us to view the halo around the colony.
34
What is a positive and negative citrate test? At what pH does the color change happen?
Positive: blue Negative: green Turns blue at 7.6 (basic)
35
