Catalase (-) enzyme

Does not have enzyme


No bubbling


EX: Entercoccus faecalis

Catalase + micrococci

Should bubble


Ex: Staphylococcus epidermis

Catalyst (-)

Microbes _________ enzyme do NOT produce gas bubbles

Catalyst enzyme +

Microbes with ________ produce oxygen gas bubbles when H2O2 is broken down

Fermentation

Metabolic pathway which microbes produce ATP by breaking down glucose in absence of O2

Acid ( pyruvic acid)


Gas ( carbon dioxide)


Alcohol

Fermentation typically results in 3 things

pH indicator

Production of acid can be detected by _________

Phenol red ( PR) broth contains

Peptone ( protein)


Lactose ( carb)


Duham tube


pH indicator ( phenol red)

Deamination

Process of bacterial break down of peptone


Produces NH3 ( ammonia base)


*removal of an amino acid

Lactose carbohydrates

Bacteria are lactose fermenter


Splits disaccharide lactose into glucose & galactose

Lactose

Ferments glucose & galactose produces ATP , pyruvic acid & CO2 gas

Durham tube

Tiny upside down tube collects CO2 gas bubbles produces during fermentation

Yellow & acid

If pH is less than 7 : what color & type

Orange red


Neutral

If pH is equal to 7


What is Color & type

Base & pink

If pH is greater than 7

Catalase test

Test identifies organism that produces catalase enzyme

Catalase

Enzyme necessary to convert H2O2 to water & O2

H2O2

Highly potent cellular toxin that forms during respiration pathways that invole oxygen

Aerobes


Microaerophile


Facultative anarobes

Microbes that use O2 pathways are classified as:

Protective enzymes

Catalase & superoxide dismutase are:

Catalase & superoxide dismutase

Allow organism to live in presence of O2

Differential test media

Provide specific growth conditions where by organism carries out a reaction allowing it be distinguished from bacteria

Differential test media

Used to differentiate Enterobacter species from each other and from other Gram (-) rods based on ability to ferment carbohydrates

Phenol Red Broth

_____________ is a differential fermentation media

E Coli in Phenol red test


gram -


Pink

Control in Phenol red test


Gram -


Red



S Flexnari in Phenol red test

Gram +


Yellow


Acid


No gas

in Phenol red test


Gram +


yellow


no gas

Gram +


pink


produces NH3

Bacteria in Catalase test


Staphlococcus Epidermidis catalase +


Enterococcus faecalis catalase -

Which bacteria had Good growth and which had bad growth in HE agar test?


All were good growth ( E coli, S flexnari, K pneumonia, S typhmrium) EXCEPT for E faecalis



Color of growth for E Coli in HE Agar test

Pi ( pink to orange)

Color of growth for E faecais in HE Agar test
None, no growth present
S flexnari color of gowth in HE Agar test
Bppt ( Blue-green with black precipitate)
color of growth for k pneumonia in HE Agar test

Pi( pink to orange)


S
Typhumurium

B ( blue green without black precipiate)

if you were trying to differentiate between Salmonella and Shigella which ingredient would need to be included in your media

Substrate ( ferric ammonium citrate and sodium thiosulfate)
Is the control plate in HE Agar test lab, positive or negative and why?

Positive control, set to show + results bacteria growth without inhibitor

When examining the results from all bacteria in HE Agar test, which bacteria is most helpful?

E. Faecalis- because it has to show good culture


HE agar is both what type of media

Selective and differential
selective media contain 4 components


Nutrition


Inhibitor


Substrate


Indicator

selected to obtain optimum growth pf suspected organisms

Nutrition

prevent or inhibit growth of some microbes


Inhibitor

agent added that allows some bacteria to preform specific chemical reactions

substrate
make desired reaction visable

Indicator
HE agar contains what?


Lactose ( nutrion)


Bile ( inhibitor)


Ferric ammonium citrate & sodium thiosulfate ( substrate)


Bromthymol Blue dye ( indicator)

Lactose ( nutrition )

Encourages growth of K pneumoniae and E coli

Bile ( Inhibitor)

inhibits growth of Gram +
Ferric ammonium citrate & sodium thiosulfate ( substrate)

form black precipiate in bacteria tht reduces sulfur

Salmonella

sulfur reduction ( +)
Shigella

sulfur reduction (-)
Bromthymol blue dye (Indicator )

measures pH changes turns yellow in acid
