You record the following results of a nitrate reductase broth that was inoculated with an unknown bacteria species and incubated for 48 hours. Step 1: Look for a gas bubble. There is a gas bubble. (You know that your unknown bacteria can ferment glucose. You are not sure if the gas is nitrogen gas or carbon dioxide gas, so you go onto step 2). Step 2: Add reagent A and B. There is no color change. Step 3: Add zinc. The broth turns red. What is your interpretation of this unknown bacteria? What type of gas is probably the product of this reaction and is in the Durham tube?

Suppose you have a bacterium, which is normally killed in an hour when growing in a medium containing penicillin. This bacterium is an auxotroph and requires tryptophan for growth. When placed in a medium lacking both tryptophan and penicillin, the bacterium neither grows nor dies for several hours. Question: Is it killed in an hour in a medium lacking tryptophan but containing penicillin? (Yes/No and explain briefly why).
Two cultures of a facultative anaerobe are grown in the same medium, but one culture is exposed to air and the other is maintained under anaerobic conditions. Which of the two cultures will contain more cells at the end of a week? Why?
Lysine decarboxylase media is yellow after incubating an organism in it at 37 degrees for 24 hours. Which of the following can be interpreted from this result? A. The organism did not grow so lysine decarboxylase activity could not be determined. B. The organism is negative for lysine decarboxylase. C. The media is too acidic to determine lysine decarboxylase activity. D. The organism is positive for lysine decarboxylase
A certain medium has the following composition: Glucose 15 g Yeast extract 5 g Peptone 5 g KH2PO4 2 g Distilled water 1,000 ml Tell what chemical category this medium belongs to, and explain why this is true. How could you convert Staphylococcus medium (table above) into a non-synthetic medium? a. What kind of medium might you make to selectively grow a bacterium that lives in the ocean? One that lives in the human stomach? Why are intestinal bacteria able to grow on media containing bile?
If two cultures of a facultative anaerobe were grown under identical conditions except that one was exposed to oxygen and the other was completely deprived of oxygen, what differences would you expect to see between the two cultures? (What metabolic pathway would be occurring in each? Why?)
I need to find two gram positive and two gram negative pathogenic bacteria that may be classified as being facultative anaerobes. What tissues or organs do these bacteria target in the human body? Why is it to their advantage to be able to use either aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration/fermentation?
What will be the results of the following experiment with explanations: A. Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria were placed into 0.2% NaCl solution. B. Gram-negative bacterial isolate was placed into 0. 3% NaCl solution containing only Lysozyme enzyme. C. Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria were placed into 0.09% NaCl solution containing only Penicillin?
If an organism tests positive for catalase, which of the following is MOST likely true about the organism? It can only do homolactic fermentation It returns nitrogen back to the atmosphere It can break down plasma membranes It creates H2O as a product of respiration
Name two enzymes that are present in obligate aerobes but lacking in obligate anaerobes. What is the function of each enzyme?
If the result of an unknown bacteria is “poor growth” and “red growth,” can this result be interpreted as “organism does not ferment mannitol?” Explain why or why not. If the result of an unknown bacteria is “good growth” and “yellow growth,” is the unknown bacteria more likely Staphylococcus aureus or Staphylococcus epidermidis?
What is one difference between fermentation and anaerobic respiration? Since neither requires oxygen, why would a microbe select one of these versus the other? Name a specific microbe which uses fermentation and a specific microbe which uses anaerobic respiration.
You plate 3 different strains of the bacteria family Aspergillis on a MacConkey Agar plate. You notice that 2 have a yellow shade, 1 has a subtle pink color. Please interpret this information. Such as, the type of fermenters these bacteria are and what this says about their metabolism. What does the color change represent? And how is this color change possible?
