Choose OF Hugh Leifson Glucose Agar from P. aeruginosa, A. faecalis Green tube with oil and Source: Biolife blue tube without oil. Methyl Red. Which test supports positive facultative anaerobic utilization of dextrose? Yellow O-F tube with and w/o oil. Which test tube is negative for fermentation of dextrose? Green tube with oil. Which test tube pair is indicative of non-saccharolytic capabilities? Bromothymol blue. Yellow O-F tube without oil only. What pH reagent is added to the O-F test media? Phenol Red.

1.After doing the O/F test with your test organism, the results showed a green color for the tube with mineral oil and a yellow color for the tube without oil.a.What conclusions can you make about this bacterium?b.Name an example species that would produce such results.2.What is the basis of the catalase test?a.How do you identify a facultative anaerobe from an aerotolerant anaerobe using this test?3.Explain how you would inoculate your bacteria to do the citrate test.a.If the test turned blue after incubation what does that say about your bacteria?
Draw a thioglycolate culture tube. Label the regions in your culture tube that have 1) no to very low oxygen 2) high oxygen 3) low to moderate amounts of oxygen Label the regions where organisms use A) aerobic metabolism B) anaerobic metabolism C) fermentation Label the regions of the tube where each group will grow based on their oxygen requirements I. Obligate aerobe II. Obligate anaerobe III. Facultative anaerobe IV. Aerotolerant anaerobe V. Microaerophile obligate aerobes obligate anaerobes facultative anaerobes aerotolerant anaerobes microaerophiles A B C D E 1. Which organisms require oxygen for metabolism/growth? 2. Which organisms can tolerate oxygen (because they possess enzymes for detoxifying it)?
