CITRATE TEST This test determines the ability of bacteria to use citrate as source of carbon and inorganic ammonium salt as a source of nitrogen. The following are the stepwise procedure in conducting citrate test: 1. Infuse the Simmons citrate agar on the slant by touching the tip of sterilized needle to a colony. 2. Incubate at 37 degree Celsius for 24 to 48 hours. A positive result is indicated by the pH indicator, bromothymol blue which turns the growth green to blue.

Create a flow chart to perform the required tests to identify unknown microorganism: - Use at least 3 other biochemical tests from the following list: Mannitol salt agar, Blood agar, Starch agar, Tributyrin Agar, Gelatin, Casein agar, Indole Production, MR-VP, Citrate, Hydrogen Sulfide test, Urease test, Nitrate reduction test, Catalase test, and Oxidase test. The Gram positive organisms that could be present in your unknown mixture are: Bacillus cereus, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Lactococcus lactis.
From figure shows triplesugar iron agar. What biochemical characteristics does this figureillustrate? How could this medium be used to begin the identificationof the isolated bacteria in this chapter’s Case Study?
Using your fingers, you are asked to aseptically touch the surface of a sterile agar plate. Illustrate the possible result from this step if your fingers are (a) unwashed – touched various things prior to placing on agar surface, and (b) washed with soap or disinfected with 70% alcohol. Describe the relative abundance of microbial growth observed on the plates. List and draw the possible characteristics of an isolated bacterial colony that can be observed based on type of (a) margin, (b) elevation, (c) texture, and (d) optical property.
Kligler’s iron agar and SIM are multiple test media.. What component of both media allows you to detect the preceding characteristic?
Nitrate reduction to nitrite is indicated by the formation of a pink to red colour after addition of nitrate test reagent. However, if a culture does not produce a colour change several posibilies exist. Explain.
Is the Triple-Sugar Iron Agar (TSIA) a complex or defined medium? Explain based on its composition. Is the test tube a A) broth, B) slant, or C) deep agar medium? Why is a “needle” used to inoculate?
Why should agar media be completely dissolved before they are dispensed in tubes and plates? What are the bases for pegging the temperature at 1210C for 15-30 minutes during moist heat sterilization and 1800C for two (2) hours using dry heat sterilization? Can you sterilize culture media using dry heat sterilization? Why is that so? You will notice in the videos shown, the cotton plug is not used. What is role of cotton plug in media prep, sterilization and culture of microorganisms? Instead of using cotton plug, plastic screw-cap is used, can you substitute this for the former? Is it technically acceptable in microbiology?
