- Which of the following is FALSE about the Nitrate Reductaion Test, procedure and interpretation? Question 2 options: A Nitrate medium contains 0.1% potassium nitrate as a substrate B Reagent A and B are used to determine the presence of nitrite C When zinc is added, it will react with any nitrate and turn red D A tube with red after zinc is a positive test for nitrate reduction E A tube that turns red after reagent A and B is a positive testReports have indicated that a metabolic byproduct of Vitamin B6 produces 4-pyridoxic acid.(1) This metabolite has fluorescent properties to could “cross-talk” with quinine (i.e., increase the fluorescent signal used for quinine and result in artificially high quinine values).(2) What techniques could we employ to separate 4-pyridoxic acid and quinine in the urine sample? This is a BSL-2 lab.2.1The number of bacteria in the samples need to be quantified. The laboratory uses a specificprotocol where the dilution factor on the spread plates must be:10-6; 10-7; 10-8Describe how you would prepare the required dilution series using the least amount of dilutionwater. 2.2 Calculate the amount of bacteria in the sample from the following results (show the steps in the calculation): Dilution factor Count10-6 27110-7 3510-8 21
