1 Lot Number(s) Record the lot numbers for each bacterial species, printed on the labels of the original lyophilized culture vials. Species Lot number Escherichia coli C150007 Staphylococcus epidermidis C150010 Micrococcus luteus C150008 Observations Data Table 1 Species Reaction(s) observed Escherichia coli K/A, G Staphylococcus epidermidis K/K Micrococcus luteus K/K 1. Based upon your results from the fermentation activity, were any of the microbes able to ferment lactose and/or sucrose? If so, which? How could you tell? Yes, E. coli was able to ferment sucralose. The acid production from the sugar turned the butt of the slant yellow. 2. Based upon your results from the fermentation activity, were any of the microbes able to produce hydrogen sulfide? If so, which? How could you tell? No, there weren’t any blackish or dark brownish color which would © 2018 Carolina Biological Supply Company
2 indicate hydrogen sulfide. Data Table 2 Species Color change (yes/no) and color observed Escherichia coli Yes, Violet Staphylococcus epidermidis Yes, Violet Micrococcus luteus Yes, Violet-Purple 3. Based upon your results from the oxidase experiment, did any of the microbes contain cytochrome c oxidase? If so, which? How could you tell? Yes, they all turned violet indicating presence of cytochrome c oxidase. Data Table 3 Species Bubbles (yes/no) Escherichia coli Yes Staphylococcus epidermidis Yes Micrococcus luteus Yes 4. Based upon your results from the catalase experiment, were any of the microbes able to convert hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen? If so, which? How could you tell? Yes. E. coli was bubbling in 1 small area. S. epidermidis had a large area where the drops created suds like bubbles. M. luteus bubbles compared to the others were bigger but stopped bubbling the fastest. © 2018 Carolina Biological Supply Company
