1. Compare the growth on both plates to your predicted results from the Experiment Setup worksheet table. Do you see any discrepancies? Comment in 1-2 sentences.
2. Observed catalase reaction for E. coli growing on both plates were very different. Perform online research and try to explain why this is the case. Suppose that these catalase results were expected and trustable.
3. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative, catalase-positive opportunistic pathogen, often incorrectly classified as an obligate aerobe. It can cause life-threatening infections in immunocompromised people, such as patients with cystic fibrosis. In their lungs, it forms robust biofilms. Deep biofilm layers contain no oxygen, and P. aeruginosa cannot ferment. How does it obtain ATP energy for growth? Do your online research and explain in a few sentences.
